Corinthians

During the Last Supper when Jesus was betrayed by Judas before crucifixtion, he broke bread saying, <span class='Jesus'>Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.</span> After eating Jesus also took a cup of wine saying, <span class='Jesus'> This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.</span> (<a href='/bible/holy-bible/1-Corinthians-11.html#23'>1 Corinthians 11:23-34</a>) This event has since become a central Christian ritual referred to as the Lord's Supper and communion among other other terms.

Apostle Paul's first letter to the people of Corinth addresses a divided church and gives them guidelines for conduct.

First Corinthians contains many well-known phrases including: "all things to all men" (9:22), "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child" (13:11) and "see through a glass, darkly" (13:12).
