1 Corinthians 11:29

Sharing in the Lord’s Supper

28Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
