1 Corinthians 11:17-22

¹⁷Now in giving this next instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better, but for the worse. ¹⁸For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it. ¹⁹For there also have to be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you. ²⁰Therefore when you come together it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, ²¹for when you eat, each one takes his own supper first; and one goes hungry while another gets drunk. ²²What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.
