Southern Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed." — John 6:55 (ASV)

Meat indeed (αληθης βρωσις). So the best MSS., "true food." See on 4:32 for βρωσις as equal to βρωμα (a thing eaten).

Drink indeed (αληθης ποσις). Correct text, "true drink." For ποσις see Ro 14:17; Colossians 2:16 (only N.T. examples).
