011:016 But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point,
we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.
011:017 But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing
I cannot praise--your meeting together, with bad rather

which is about to be broken for you. Do this in memory of me."
011:025 In the same way, when the meal was over, He also took the cup.
"This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant of which my blood
is the pledge. Do this, every time that you drink it,
