Text and translations

Greek text 26  ὁσάκις γὰρ ἐὰν ἐσθίητε τὸν ἄρτον τοῦτον , καὶ τὸ ποτήριον πίνητε , τὸν θάνατον τοῦ Κυρίου καταγγέλλετε ἄχρι οὗ ἔλθῃ . 27  Ὥστε ὃς ἂν ἐσθίῃ τὸν ἄρτον ἢ πίνῃ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦ Κυρίου ἀναξίως , ἔνοχος ἔσται τοῦ σώματος καὶ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ Κυρίου .

Latin translation 26  Quotiescumque manducabitis panem hunc, et calicem bibetis, mortem Domini annuntiabitis, donec veniat; 27  Itaque quicumque manducaverit panem vel biberit calicem Domini indigne, reus erit corporis et sanguinis Domini. (Alleluia.)

German translation 26  Sooft ihr dieses Brot eßt und den Kelch trinkt, verkündet ihr den Tod des Herrn, bis er kommt; 27  Wer daher unwürdig das Brot ißt oder den Kelch des Herrn trinkt, wird schuldig am Leib und Blut des Herrn. (Halleluja.)

English translation 26  As often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you shall show the death of the Lord, until he comes; 27  Therefore whoever eats the bread drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. (Alleluia.)
