I CORINTHIANS 11:17-34

Correcting Communion Corruptions

Page 2: Communion 2

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you,

that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed

took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and

said, "This is My body, which is for you;

do this in remembrance of Me."

Page 3: Communion 2

In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying,

"This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this,

as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim

the Lord's death until He comes.

Page 4: Communion 2

Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread

and drink of the cup.

Page 5: Communion 2

For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to

himself if he does not judge the body rightly.

For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a

number sleep. But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not

be judged.

Page 6: Communion 2

But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so

that we will not be condemned along with the world.

So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat,

wait for one another.

Page 7: Communion 2

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home,

so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters

I will arrange when I come.
