NASB | 1 Corinthians 11:27 ¶ 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. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 11:27 ¶ So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy [of Him] will be guilty of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord. |
Subject: Joe, baptism required for Lord's Supper? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! No, because the adverb only modifies the manner of eating or drinking, not the quality of the person. That was the point I was agreeing with BradK about. The passage doesn't say, "Unworthy people must not eat or drink". It does say, "one must not eat or drink in an unworthy manner". Hence, it is the way in which the Lord's Supper is being partaken that is the issue of this passage, not who can partake of it. I hope that helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
