1 Corinthians 11:17-22

17But in giving this next instruction, I do not praise you, because when you meet together it is not for the better but for the worse.

18For, in the first place, when you meet together in church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and in part I believe it,

19for [doubtless] there have to be factions among you, so that those who are of approved character may be clearly recognized among you.

20So when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper,

21for when you eat, each one hurries to get his own supper first [not waiting for others or the poor]. So one goes hungry while another gets drunk.

22What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you show contempt for the church of God and humiliate those [impoverished believers] who have nothing? What will I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? In this I will not praise you!
