KJV

1 Cor. 11:17 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] 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] 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] For in eating every one taketh before other 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 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] 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] 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] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

[27] 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] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and

drink of that cup.

[29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the

Lord's body. [30] For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

[31] For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

NIV

1 Cor. 11:17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.

[18] In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and

to some extent I believe it.

[19] No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval.

[20] When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat,

[21] for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry,

another gets drunk.

[22] Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those
