^{17 Ref} But in giving you this charge, 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 divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.

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

²⁰ When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord's supper:

^{21 Ref} for in your eating each 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 put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.

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

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

^{25 Ref} In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink `it', in remembrance of me.

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

^{27 Ref} Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

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

^{29 Ref} For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.

^{30 Ref} For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

^{31 Ref} But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.

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

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

^{34 Ref} If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
