Notes

When Christians take the Lord’s Supper, they share the importance of the Lord’s death with others until he returns (see 1:7–8; compare 1 Thessalonian 1:9–10; 3:12; 4:13–18; 5:23).

Paul discusses issues with how the Corinthians interact with each other and with the Lord during the Lord's Supper.
