‏ 1 Corinthians 11:25

 After supper ( μετα το δειπνησα ).  Μετα and the articular aorist active infinitive, "after the dining" (or the supping) as in Lu 22:20.

 The new covenant ( η καινη διαθηκη ). For  διαθηκη see on Mt 26:28. For  καινος see on Lu 5:38; 22:20. The position of  εστιν before  εν τω αιματ (in my blood) makes it a secondary or additional predicate and not to be taken just with  διαθηκη (covenant or will).

 As oft as ye drink it ( οσακις αν πινητε ). Usual construction for general temporal clause of repetition ( αν and the present subjunctive with  οσακις ). So in verse 26.
