1 Corinthians 11:30
28 Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.
29 For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
31 Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.
32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
