The Lord’s Supper

¹⁷ But in giving this instruction, ^(A)I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. ¹⁸ For, in the first place, when you come together ^[a]as a church, I hear that ^[b](B)divisions exist among you, and in part I believe it. ¹⁹ For there ^(C)must also be factions among you, ^(D)so that those who are approved may become ^[c]evident among you. ²⁰ Therefore when you meet together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, ²¹ for in your eating each one takes his own supper first, and one is hungry and ^(E)another is drunk. ²² For do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the ^(F)church of God and ^(G)shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall ^(H)I praise you? In this I will not praise you.
