1 Corinthians 11:29-30
1 Corinthians 11:29-32 The Message (MSG)
If you give no thought (or worse, don’t care) about the broken body of the Master when you eat and drink, you’re running the risk of serious consequences. That’s why so many of you even now are listless and sick, and others have gone to an early grave. If we get this straight now, we won’t have to be straightened out later on. Better to be confronted by the Master now than to face a fiery confrontation later.
1 Corinthians 11:29-30 King James Version (KJV)

1 Corinthians 11:29-30 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.

1 Corinthians 11:29-30 American Standard Version (ASV)

1 Corinthians 11:29-30 Amplified Bible (AMP)
For anyone who eats and drinks [without solemn reverence and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ], eats and drinks a judgment on himself if he does not recognize the body [of Christ]. That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death].
1 Corinthians 11:29-30 New Living Translation (NLT)
For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself. That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.
