So let us keep the unending feast, not with any old leaven, neither with leaven of malice and vice, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

You have been brought with a price; do not become slaves to men.

But for my part, I have never availed myself of any of these rights. I do not say this to bring it about in my own case. I would rather die than let any one make void this boast of mine.

For my part, then, I run with no wavering to the goal. I box not as one beating the air,

They all ate of the same spiritual bread,

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a common participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a common participation in the body of Christ?

Because we who are many are one bread, one body, for we all do share in the one loaf.

For I passed on to you the account, which I myself received from the Lord; how the Lord Jesus, on the very night he was betrayed, took bread,

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are proclaiming your Lord's death until he come.

So he that eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthy must answer for a sin against the body and blood of the Lord.

Let each man scrutinize himself, and thus let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

If the foot should say, "Because I am a hand, I am not part a part the body," would it not indeed be a part of the body?

Or if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," would it be any less a part of the body?

Every day I am facing death, my brothers, I affirm it by that pride in you which I have through Christ Jesus our Lord.
