This paper begins from recognition that Korean presbyterian churches do not rightly understanding the meaning of the Lord's Supper: participation in body of Christ. Only in that supper all korean faith communities can confirm that they are one body in the Lord and have koinonia in the sense of a communal activity even though they have different theological positions.
Analysis of 1 Corinthian 11:17‐34 will be particularly important to answer our question, because it reveals explicitly a conflict between the community and its individual members which will help us to understand Paul's view of the community and the individual. This paper deals with the cause and effect of the conflict at the Lord's Supper, individual and Community: the private meal and the Lord's Supper, different groups at the Supper, and finally Paul's suggested solution: motif of koinonia.
Paul's view on the individual and the community is present clearly in his letter to the Corinthians in several ways. First, Paul does not disregard the individual's role and action in the community. Second, Paul stresses habits the mutual responsibility of the individuals to each other by virtue of their corporate relationship to Christ.
Paul expects the restoration of the motif of koinonia in their community meal. The motif of koinonia is connected to his other idea to solve the conflict: it is "building up." Paul's communal understanding of edification is seen most clearly in 1 Cor.14 where he treats the issue of Christian worship. Paul's principle for Christian worship is, "Let all things be done for building up." Now we can understand what he is saying, "Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor ... just as I try to please all men in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved."
