Purge therefore the old leaven, that ye may be new dough, as ye are sweet bread. For Christ our Easter lamb is offered up for us.

Therefore let us keep holiday, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness - but with the sweet bread of pureness and truth.

All things are lawful unto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things: but I will be brought under no man's power.

And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I might have my part thereof.

Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ?

Because that we - though we be many - yet are one bread, and one body inasmuch as we all are partakers of one bread.

For if I take my part with thanks: why am I evil spoken of for that thing wherefore I give thanks?

That which I delivered unto you I received of the Lord. For the Lord Jesus the same night in the which he was betrayed, took bread,

For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shall show the Lord's death, till he come.

Wherefore whosoever shall eat of this bread, or drink of the cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

Let a man therefore examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

For our honest members need it not: but God hath so disposed the body, and hath given most honour to that part which lacked,

When this corruptible hath put on incorruptibility: and this mortal hath put on immortality: then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is consumed into victory."

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
