SCRIPTURE

"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. But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body." — 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 (ASV)

Shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

You notice that I introduced the word "condemnation" instead of "damnation." That word does not correctly give the meaning of the original; it is not damnation, but condemnation, or judgment, as is clear from what follows.
