And you are proud! Shouldn't you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did this from among you?

So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

Don't you know that those who serve in the temple eat food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar receive a part of the offerings?

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

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

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

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

For every time you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

A person should examine himself first, and in this way let him eat the bread and drink of the cup.

If the foot says, "Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

And if the ear says, "Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell?

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

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

Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he has brought to an end all rule and all authority and power.
