1 Corinthians 11:27-30

11:27 For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 11:28 A person should examine himself first, ¹  and in this way ²  let him eat the bread and drink of the cup. 11:29 For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard ³  for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself. 11:30 That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead. ⁴ 

[11:28]  ¹ tn The word “first” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. It has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[11:28]  ² tn Grk “in this manner.”

[11:29]  ¹ tn The word more literally means, “judging between, recognizing, distinguishing.”

[11:30]  ¹ tn Grk “are asleep.” The verb κοιμάω (koimaw) literally means “sleep,” but it is often used in the Bible as a euphemism for the death of a believer.
