^{17 Ref} Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

^{18 Ref} For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

^{19 Ref} For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

²⁰ When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

^{21 Ref} For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

^{22 Ref} What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

^{23 Ref} For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

^{24 Ref} And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

^{25 Ref} After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

^{26 Ref} For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

^{27 Ref} Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

^{28 Ref} But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

^{29 Ref} For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

^{30 Ref} For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

^{31 Ref} For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

^{32 Ref} But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

^{34 Ref} And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
