1 Corinthians 11
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
23 Ref For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,
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.
30 Ref For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.
31 Ref But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

23 Ref For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
24 Ref When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me."
25 Ref In the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."
26 Ref For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
27 Ref Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in a manner unworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
28 Ref But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
29 Ref For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn't discern the Lord's body.
30 Ref For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31 Ref For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.
