¹⁷ But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. ¹⁸ For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part. ¹⁹ For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you. ²⁰ But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord: ²¹ For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink. ²² What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame?

And the rest I will put in order when I come.
