17 In the following instructions I have no praise to offer, because your gatherings do more harm than good.
18 First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.
19 And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.
20 Now then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat.
21 For as you eat, each of you goes ahead without sharing his meal. While one remains hungry, another gets drunk.
22 Don’t you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? No, I will not!
