18. First, here is what people are telling me. When you come together as a church, you take sides. And in some ways I believe it.
19. No doubt you need to take sides in order to show which of you God agrees with!
20. When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat.
21. As you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anyone else. One remains hungry and another gets drunk.
22. Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you think so little of God's church that you shame those in it who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you for that? Certainly not!
23. I passed on to you what I received from the Lord. On the night the Lord Jesus was handed over to his enemies, he took bread.
24. When he had given thanks, he broke it. He said, "This is my body. It is given for you. Every time you eat it, do it in memory of me."
