ASV

27. Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28. But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

29. For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body. 30. For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31. But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. 32. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

  1. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another. 34. If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come. (1 Corinthians 11:27-34, ASV)

29. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body. 30. For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31. For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged. 32. But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

  1. Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34. But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come. (1 Corinthians 11:27-34, WEB)

YLT

27. so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord: 28. and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

29. for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink, not discerning the body of the Lord. 30. Because of this, among you many [are] weak and sickly, and sleep do many; 31. for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged, 32. and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

  1. so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye; 34. and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange. (1 Corinthians 11:27-34, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

  • ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
  • WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
  • KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
  • YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
