to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My
body.” 27 Then He took the cup, and gave
thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink
from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the
new covenant, which is shed for many for the
remission of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not
drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until
that day when I drink it new with you in My
Father's kingdom.”

as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly,
not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as

being examples to the flock; 4 and when the
Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the
crown of glory that does not fade away.

said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the
word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore,
brethren, seek out from among you seven men of
good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and
wisdom, whom we may appoint over this
business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually
to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

Whoever transgresses and

doctrine, do not receive him into your house
nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares
in his evil deeds.

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you
withdraw from every brother who walks
disorderly and not according to the tradition
which he received from us.
