Order at the Lord’s Supper
17 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not (I do not praise you), that ye (you) come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18 For first of all, when ye (you) come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19 For there must be also heresies (contrary beliefs) among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest (clearly recognized) among you.
20 When ye (you) come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s (Aḏon’s) supper.
21 For in eating every one taketh (takes) before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 What? have ye (you) not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not (Or do you show contempt for the church of Elohim and humiliate those [impoverished / poor believers] who have nothing)? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not (I do not praise you).
23 For I have received of the Lord (Aḏon) that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus (Aḏon Yahusha) the same night in which he (He) was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he (He) had given thanks, he brake (He broke) it, and said, Take, eat: this is my (My) body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me (Me).
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped (after supper), saying, this cup is the new testament (new covenant) in my blood: this do ye (you), as oft (often) as ye (you) drink it, in remembrance of me (Me).
26 For as often as ye (you) eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye (you) do shew (show) the Lord’s death till he come (till He comes [again]).
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord (Aḏon), unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord (Aḏon).
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth (eats) and drinketh (drinks) unworthily, eateth (eats) and drinketh (drinks) damnation (condemnation) to himself, not discerning the Lord’s (Aḏon’s) body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (deaths).
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened (judged) of the Lord (Aḏon), that we should not be condemned with the world.
33 Wherefore, my brethren (fellow believers), when ye (you) come together to eat, tarry one for another (wait for one another [and see to it that no one is left out]).
34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye (you) come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

132 Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), remember David, and all his afflictions (sufferings):
2 How he sware unto (swore to) the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and vowed unto the mighty God (Elohim) of Jacob;
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to mine (my) eyes, or slumber to mine (my) eyelids,
5 Until I find out a place for the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), an habitation (a dwelling place) for the mighty God (Elohim) of Jacob.
6 Lo (Look), we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7 We will go into his (His) tabernacles: we will worship at his (His) footstool.
8 Arise, O Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), into thy (Your) rest; thou (You), and the ark of thy (Your) strength.
9 Let thy (Your) priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy (Your) saints shout for joy.
10 For thy (Your) servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine (Your) anointed.
11 The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) sworn in truth unto David; he (He) will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy (your) body will I set upon thy (your) throne.
12 If thy (your) children will keep my (My) covenant and my (My) testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy (your) throne for evermore.
13 For the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) chosen Zion; he hath (He has) desired it for his habitation (for His dwelling place).
(NOTE: Zion (proper noun) = Mount Zion is a hill in Jerusalem, located just outside the walls of the Old City to the south. It is the city of David and the city of God. The word Zion is also used in a theological or spiritual sense in Scripture. In the Old Testament Zion refers figuratively to Israel as the people of God (Isaiah 60:14)).
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell (live); for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine (my) anointed.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish (grow).

133 Behold (See), how good and how pleasant it is for brethren (brothers) to dwell (live) together in unity!
2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended (fall downward) upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary (sacred place), and bless the Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).
3 The Lord (𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) that made heaven and earth bless thee (you) out of Zion.

NOTES:-
1. SPELLING VERSION #1:-
Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.
2. SPELLING VERSION #2:-
Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God / Yah saves.
3. SPELLING VERSION #3:-
Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).
4. SPELLING VERSION #4:-
Yahusha (יְהוֹשׁוּ) as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father and according to the original ancient Hebrew text spelling.
Yah יָהּ (H3050), + וָֹ (u) + שַׁ Sh + ע A = Yahusha which means Yahuah (God) saves (H3091) (NOTE: Hebrew text is read from left to right). See the diagram below:-

יְהוֹשׁעַ (H3091 = God / Yahuah saves)

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!
WARNING from God (Yahuah) Himself: The Word of God (Yahuah) warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-
John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / Yahuah has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”
Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yahusha), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (Yahuah has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.
John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yahusha) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly (seriously) say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God (Yahuah).”
Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth (He who does) speak: behold, it is I.”
