For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: That the Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread and, having given thanks, broke it and said: "This is my body, which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me". In the same way, after the supper he took the cup and said: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me". For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For whoever eats and drinks without discerning the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 11:23-30
