Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.

Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup.

Let a person examine himself; in this way let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.

But a person must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

So a man should examine himself; in this way he should eat the bread and drink from the cup.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of[ that] bread, and drink of[ that] cup.

A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

Each person should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves. They won’t be comparing themselves to someone else.

Take a good look at yourselves to see if you are really believers. Test yourselves. Don’t you realize that Christ Jesus is in you? Unless, of course, you fail the test!

Lord, test me. Try me out. Look deep down into my heart and mind.I have always remembered your love that never fails. I have always depended on the fact that you are faithful.I don’t spend time with people who tell lies. I don’t keep company with pretenders.I hate to be with a group of sinful people. I refuse to spend time with those who are evil.I wash my hands to show that I’m not guilty. Lord, I come near your altar.I shout my praise to you. I tell about all the wonderful things you have done.

Let’s take a good look at the way we’re living. Let’s return to the Lord.

The Lord who rules over all says,“ Think carefully about how you are living.

“ Suppose you are offering your gift at the altar. And you remember that your brother or sister has something against you.Leave your gift in front of the altar. First go and make peace with them. Then come back and offer your gift.

“ Ask the priests and all the people in the land a question for me. Say to them,‘ You mourned and fasted in the fifth and seventh months. You did it for the past 70 years. But did you really do it for me?And when you were eating and drinking, weren’t you just enjoying good food for yourselves?Didn’t I tell you the same thing through the earlier prophets? That was when Jerusalem and the towns around it were at rest and enjoyed success. People lived in the Negev Desert and the western hills at that time.’ ”

He continues,“ Think carefully about how you are living.

“ Tell the Israelites,‘ Suppose any of you or your children are“ unclean” because they have gone near a dead body. Or suppose they are away on a journey. They must still celebrate the Lord’ s Passover.They must celebrate it on the 14th day of the second month. They must do so when the sun goes down. They must eat the lamb together with bread made without yeast. They must eat it with bitter plants.They must not leave any of it until morning. They must not break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover Feast, they must follow all the rules.But suppose someone is“ clean” and not on a journey. And they fail to celebrate the Passover Feast. Then they must be separated from the community of Israel. They did not bring the Lord’ s offering at the appointed time. They will be punished for their sin.

We should think more carefully about what we are doing. Then we would not be found guilty for this.

If our hearts judge us, we know that God is greater than our hearts. And he knows everything.Dear friends, if our hearts do not judge us, we can be bold with God.
