But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:28 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
John Chrysostom
AD 407
It is unlawful for us to touch the table with profane lusts, which are more harmful than diseases. By profane lusts I mean those of the body, of money, of anger, of malice, and so on. It is fitting for anyone who approaches to empty himself of all these things first and then touch that pure sacrifice.
