Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

For I have received from the Lord, that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread:

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

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

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

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