6: Deals with The Death of JESUS as Our Passover Sacrifice (no murder)
1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
This section includes 10:16 through Chapter 11:26. Paul shows The Church that JESUS’ death is essential to our salvation. This is the Main Theme of 1 Corinthians.
1 Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
7: Deals with Purity and against defilement (no adultery)
1 Corinthians 11:27–29 27 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. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
The emphasis Paul writes of deals with allowing The Holy Spirit to deal with our conscience and thus enable a pure relationship within The Body of Christ -
8: Deals with Gifts (not in stealing from GOD nor one another)
1 Corinthians 12:1–3 1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
1 Corinthians 12:12–14 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.
