1 Corinthians 11:17-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

¹⁸ For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.

¹⁹ For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.

²⁰ When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.

²¹ For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.

²² What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.
