The verses in focus deal with both the physical body and His body of believers. To deny this, you must wrest them from the center of the section and try to make them stand in isolation. Never good hermeneutics.

Some deal with the former and some with the latter. The point remains that the need to "discern the body" and eat it "worthily" are references to the physical body of Christ on the cross and not the body of believers.
