I Corinthians 11:21 – In this context, the drunkenness here may not be referring to intoxication.
I Corinthians 11:25-26 – The “cup” here is a metaphor, indicated by the fact that they were to “drink the cup.” Some try to take this literally and use only a single cup for everyone, but that is missing the figure of speech here.
I Corinthians 11:27-29 – It’s critical to partake of the Lord’s Supper correctly. To do so incorrectly is sinful. The manner in which we partake must be worthy. None of us are worthy of Jesus’ sacrifice itself.
