1 Corinthians 11

Douay-Rheims

²³For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread,

²⁴And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me.

²⁵In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.

²⁶For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.

²⁷Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

²⁸But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice.

²⁹For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
