17 But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death ^zuntil he comes.

27 ^aWhoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord ^bin an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning ^cthe body and blood of the Lord.
