had  supped,  saying:  This  cup  is  the  new
      testament in my blood: do this, as often as you
      drink  it,  in  remembrance  of  me.  For  as

      often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
      you show the Lord's death till he returns.

      Wherefore whosoever 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 that
      bread  and  drink  of  that  cup.  For  he  that  eats
      and drinks unworthily eats and drinks judgment
      to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For
      this  cause,  many  are  weak  and  sickly  among
      you, and many sleep. If we judge ourselves, we
      should not be judged. But when we are judged,
      we are chastened by the Lord, so we will

      not be condemned with the world.

      10  You  are  our  epistle  written  in  our  hearts,

      known and read of all men: forasmuch as you
      are  manifestly  declared  to  be  the  epistle  of
      Christ  ministered  by  us,  written  not  with  ink,
      but with the Spirit of the living God; not in
      tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
