Notes

Taking the Lord’s Supper without understanding its importance or with unconfessed sin is unworthy (see 11:28–31). It is like sinning against the body and blood of the Lord; it treats his sacrificial death as unimportant (compare Hebrews 10:29).

Paul discusses issues with how the Corinthians interact with each other and with the Lord during the Lord's Supper.
