OET (OET-LV) But let_be_approving a_person himself, and thus of the bread him _let_be_eating, and of the cup him _let_be_drinking.

OET (OET-RV) So everyone must first examine themself as part of eating that bread and drinking from that cup,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:17–34: Eat the Lord’s Supper in the proper way

In this section Paul discussed some problems with how the believers in Corinth ate the Lord’s Supper. Some people started eating and did not wait for others to arrive. Some people ate too much while others had little or nothing.

Christians should eat the Lord’s Supper in order to remember the Lord Jesus. They should repent from sin before eating and drinking, and they should wait for everyone to arrive before beginning the Supper. If anyone is hungry, they should eat at home so that they do not come under judgment.

The celebration of the Lord’s Supper is also described in Matthew 26:26–28, Mark 14:22–24 and Luke 22:17–20.

Here are some other possible section headings:

How to observe/celebrate the Lord’s Supper

Instructions about the Lord’s Supper

The Lord’s Supper should be honored

Paragraph 11:27–32

In this paragraph Paul taught believers to examine themselves before eating the Lord’s Supper, so that God will not judge them.

11:28

Each one must examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.

Each one must examine himself: The phrase examine himself means to think carefully about oneself and consider if one’s own actions and attitudes are right.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

each person should think about their own heart

you should test yourself

Each one: The Greek word that the BSB translate as Each one refers to any person, male or female. Here is another way to translate this:

everyone (REB)

before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as before he eats is more literally “and so eat.” It means that people should only eat after they examine themselves. Here is another way to translate this:

and then eat (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

δοκιμαζέτω δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἑαυτόν, καὶ οὕτως ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου ἐσθιέτω, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ποτηρίου πινέτω

˓let_be˒_approving (Some words not found in SR-GNT: δοκιμαζέτω Δέ ἄνθρωπος ἑαυτόν καί οὕτως ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου ἐσθιέτω καί ἐκ τοῦ ποτηρίου πινέτω)

In this verse, Paul uses three third-person imperatives. If you have third-person imperatives in your language, you could use them here. If you do not have third-person imperatives, you could express the ideas using a word such as “must” or “should.” Alternate translation: [But a man must examine himself, and in this way he should eat from the bread, and he should drink from the cup]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἄνθρωπος ἑαυτόν & ἐσθιέτω & πινέτω

˓a˒_person himself & ˱him˲_˓let_be˒_eating & ˱him˲_˓let_be˒_drinking

Here, a man, himself, and him are written in masculine form, but they refer to anyone, no matter which their gender might be. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind these words by using word that do not have gender, or you could use both genders. Alternate translation: [a person … himself or herself … let him or her eat … let him or her drink]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

οὕτως ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου ἐσθιέτω, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ποτηρίου πινέτω

thus of the bread ˱him˲_˓let_be˒_eating (Some words not found in SR-GNT: δοκιμαζέτω Δέ ἄνθρωπος ἑαυτόν καί οὕτως ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου ἐσθιέτω καί ἐκ τοῦ ποτηρίου πινέτω)

Here, in this way introduces both let him eat and let him drink. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine let him drink and the earlier command, or you could repeat in this way. Alternate translation: [in this way let him eat from the bread and drink from the cup] or [in this way let him eat from the bread, and in this way let him drink from the cup]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐκ τοῦ ἄρτου ἐσθιέτω

of the bread ˱him˲_˓let_be˒_eating

Here, to eat from something means to eat some of that thing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express eat from with a word or phrase that refers to eating part of something. Alternate translation: [let him eat his portion of the bread] or [let him eat some of the loaf of bread]
