1 Corinthians 11-12

• the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. (11:3)
• in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God. (v11-12)
• "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." (v24) This is done to remember what God has done in our lives, not to recleanse ourselves through communion.
• Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. (v28) Reflect before taking communion

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

-- 1 Corinthians 12:4-7

• Working as one body of Christ (v12-31)
