16. But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
17. Now in this that I declare to you, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18. For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
19. For there must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.
20. When therefore ye come together in one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
21. For in eating every one taketh before another his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
22. 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. For I have received from the Lord, that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread:
24. And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
