1 Corinthians 11:16-19

English Standard Version

^16 (A)If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do ^(B)the churches of God.

The Lord's Supper

¹⁷ But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. ¹⁸ For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, ^(C)I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part,^{[a] 19} for ^(D)there must be factions among you in order ^(E)that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.
