1 Corinthians 11:16-19

16But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, 1we have no 2such practice, nor have 3the churches of God.

17Now in giving this next instruction 4I 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 5as a church, I hear that 67divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it. 19For there also 8have to be factions among you, 9so that those who are approved may become 10evident among you.
