1 Corinthians 11:24-28
1599 Geneva Bible
24 (A)And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is [a]broken for you: this do ye in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in my blood: this do as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye show the Lord’s death till he come.
27 [b]Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink the cup of the Lord [c]unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 (B)[d]Let [e]every man therefore examine himself, and so let them eat of this bread, and drink of this cup.
