The New Life in Christ: When you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 1Corinthians 11:17.

For, to begin with, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent I believe it.

Indeed, there have to be factions among you, for only so will it become clear who among you are genuine.

When you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s supper.

For when the time comes to eat, each of you goes ahead with your own supper, and one goes hungry and another comes drunk.

What! Do you not have homes to eat and drink in?

Or do you show contempt for the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing?

What should I say to you?

Should I commend you?

In this matter I do not commend you! 1Corinthians 11:18-22.

Amen.
