1 Corinthians 11:16-19

16Some people may want to argue about this. But I have told you what we do. And all of God's people in the different churches do the same thing.

17Now I must teach you about something else about your meetings. I will not praise you, because more bad things than good things happen when you meet together.

18First, I hear that there are separate groups when you meet together as God's people. I believe that some of what I have heard about you is true.

19Perhaps there must be separate groups among you. Then everyone can see clearly which group God accepts as right!
