Popular Bible Verses from 1 Corinthians 11

Share

After they had eaten supper, Jesus took a cup of wine. He spoke to his disciples again. He said, ‘This cup shows my blood that will pour out when I die. God now makes a new covenant to save people because of my death. Whenever you drink from the cup in this way, do it to remember me.’ Whenever you eat the bread and you drink from the cup like this, it is a sign to people. You are showing them what the Lord's death means. You should continue to do this until he returns.

This is the message that I received from the Lord. I then told it to you. This is what happened on the night that Jesus' enemies took hold of him. The Lord Jesus took some bread to eat with his disciples. He thanked God for the bread and then he broke it into pieces. He said: ‘This is my body that I give to save you. Eat this bread, so that you remember me.’

So everyone must think carefully about how they eat the bread and they drink from the cup. They must understand how important the Lord's body is. If anyone does not recognize this, God will punish them.

Since that is true, you must be careful. Eat the bread and drink from the cup in a way that is right. Anyone who does not do that will be guilty. They show that they do not respect the Lord's body and his blood.

Copy my example, in the same way that I copy Christ's example.
