The followers were very sad to hear this. Each follower said to Jesus, “Lord, surely I am not the one!”
If a person eats \{the bread\} and drinks \{the cup\} without recognizing the body, then that person is judged guilty by eating and drinking.
So if you eat or if you drink or if you do anything, do it for the glory of God.
Look closely at yourselves. Test yourselves to see if you are \{living\} in the faith. You know that Christ Jesus is in you. But if you fail the test (are not living in the faith), then Christ is not living in you.
A person should not compare himself with other people. Each person should judge his own actions. Then he can be proud for what he himself has done.
