For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.

Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ?

Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they have supplied what was lacking on your part.
