This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Unworthily (anaxiōs). Old adverb, only here in N.T., not genuine in 1Co 11:29. Paul defines his meaning in 1Co 11:29. He does not say or imply that we ourselves must be “worthy” (axioi) to partake of the Lord’s Supper. No one would ever partake on those terms. Many pious souls have abstained from observing the ordinance through false exegesis here.
Shall be guilty (enochos estai). Shall be held guilty as in Mat 5:21. which see. Shall be guilty of a crime committed against the body and blood of the Lord by such sacrilege (cf. Heb 6:6; Heb 10:29).
