1 Corinthians 11

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

24 Ref And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

25 Ref In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

26 Ref For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

27 Ref If, then, anyone takes the bread or the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit, he will be responsible for the body and blood of the Lord.

28 Ref But let no man take of the bread and the cup without testing himself.

29 Ref For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

26 Ref For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come.

27 Ref Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

28 Ref But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

29 Ref For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
