One bread. . .or, as it may be rendered, agreeably both to the Latin and
Greek, because the bread is one, all we, being many, are one body, who
partake of that one bread. For it is by our communicating with Christ,
and with one another, in this blessed sacrament, that we are formed
into one mystical body; and made, as it were, one bread, compounded of
many grains of corn, closely united together.
10:18. Behold Israel according to the flesh. Are not they that eat of
the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
10:19. What then? Do I say that what is offered in sacrifice to idols
is any thing? Or that the idol is any thing?
10:20. But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to
devils and not to God. And I would not that you should be made
partakers with devils.
10:21. You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord and the chalice of
devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord and of the
table of devils.
10:22. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All
things are lawful for me: but all things are not expedient.
10:23. All things are lawful for me: but all things do not edify.

10:25. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat: asking no question for
conscience' sake.
10:26. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof.
10:27. If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you be willing
to go: eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for
conscience' sake.
10:28. But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols: do not
eat of it, for his sake that told it and for conscience' sake.
10:29. Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's. For why is my
liberty judged by another man's conscience?
10:30. If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of for that
for which I give thanks?
10:31. Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do,
do all to the glory of God.
10:32. Be without offence to the Jew, and to the Gentiles and to the
church of God:
10:33. As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which
is profitable to myself but to many: that they may be saved.

disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.
