and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were all drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

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,

but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member,

It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or uninformed person enters, he will be convicted by all, he will be called to account by all.

Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: ¹  Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you can send me on my journey, wherever I go.

for you are still influenced by the flesh. ¹  For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people? ²

But this knowledge is not shared by all. And some, by being accustomed to idols in former times, eat this food as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.

Otherwise, if you are praising God with your spirit, how can someone without the gift ¹  say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Is Christ divided? Paul wasn’t crucified for you, was he? ¹  Or were you in fact baptized in the name of Paul? ² 

so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” ¹ 

For I decided to be concerned about nothing ¹  among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
