16 a The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? b The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are c one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18 Consider d the people of Israel: [1] e are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar?
23 For x I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that y the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for [2] you. Do this in remembrance of me.” [3] 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death z until he comes.
