1 Corinthians 11:17–20

The Lord’s Supper

11:17 Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. 11:18 For in the first place, when you come together as a church I hear there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 11:19 For there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident.7 11:20 Now when you come together at the same place, you are not really eating the Lord’s Supper.
