²⁹ 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.

²⁷ 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.

⁵ Whoever keeps the law will come to no evil: and a wise man's heart has knowledge of time and of decision.

² For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

²⁴ 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.

³⁰ For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.

³² But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

³³ So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

³⁴ If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

¹⁴ But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

¹ Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others.

¹² But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged.
