1 Corinthians 11:17-22
International Children’s Bible
The Lord’s Supper
17 In the things I tell you now I do not praise you. Your meetings hurt you more than they help you. 18 First, I hear that when you meet together as a church you are divided. And I believe some of this. 19 (It is necessary for there to be differences among you. That is the way to make it clear which of you are really doing right.) 20 When you all come together, you are not really eating the Lord’s Supper.[a] 21 This is because when you eat, each person eats without waiting for the others. Some people do not get enough to eat, while others have too much to drink. 22 You can eat and drink in your own homes! It seems that you think God’s church is not important. You embarrass those who are poor. What should I tell you? Should I praise you for doing this? I do not praise you.
