1 Corinthians 11:17-22

New Matthew Bible

¹⁷ Now this I warn you of and do not commend: that you come together not for the better, but for the worse. ¹⁸ First of all, when you come together in the congregation, I hear that there is dissension among you. And I believe it as to some, ¹⁹ for there must be sects among you, so that those who are sound among you may be known.

²⁰ When you come together, a person cannot eat the Lord’s Supper, ²¹ because everyone begins ahead to eat his own supper. And one is hungry, and another is drunk. ²² Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you think nothing of the congregation of God, and shame those who have not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.
