1 Corinthians 11:17-21 But in the following instructions, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ But in the following instructions, 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 as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it. ¹⁹ For there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. ²⁰ Therefore when you meet together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat, ²¹ for in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal, and one is hungry and another is drunk.
