The clothing of those at the meal
[...] and that it has been completed in deed, they having received it lawfully, who in haste of faith and a tightening of bodily thoughts and a ready shoeing toward preparation of a good-working journey, staffs being handled in their hands, live in fear the life from this, which becomes salvation for them — and "unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no share with me." (Exodus 12:11) (John 6:53) (John 13:8)
Greek
τὸ δε ἔργῳ ἐκτ[ετε]λέσθαι ἐννόμως αὐτὸ εἰλ[ηφό]τας, οἵτινες ἐν σπουδῇ πίσ[τεω]ς καὶ σφίγξει ἐννοιῶν σωμ[ατι]κῶν καὶ ὑποδέσει ἑτοίμῃ πρὸς παρασκευὴν ὁδοιπορίας ἀγαθοέργου, βακτηριῶν αὐτοῖς ἐν χερσὶν μεταχειριζομένων, ἐν φόβῳ τὴν ἐκ τούτου βίωσιν <διάγουσιν>, ἥτις αὐτοῖς σωτηρία γίνεται, καὶ "ἐὰν μὴ φάγητέ μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ πίητέ μου τὸ αἷμα, οὐκ ἔχετε μερίδα μετ' ἐμοῦ".
