Paul proceeded to give the order and object of the Lord’s supper, and then warned his brethren against perverting this sacred ordinance: “As often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come. Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.... He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.”{LP 171.2}

Paulus vedblev med at give orden og formålet med Herrens nadver, og så advarede han sine brødre imod at forvanske denne hellige forordning: " Thi så ofte som I spiser dette brød og drikker kalken, forkynder I Herrens død, indtil han kommer. Den, der spiser brødet eller drikker Herrens kalk på uværdig vis, pådrager sig altså skyld over for Herrens legeme og blod. . . . Thi den, som spiser og drikker uden at ænse, at det er Herrens legeme, spiser og drikker sig selv en dom til."
