Condemnation of Divisions at Meals

1 Corinthians 11:17-22

But in giving you this next instruction I do not praise you, because when you meet together it does more harm than good!

For, in the first place, I hear that when you gather together as a congregation you divide up into cliques; and to a degree I believe it

(granted that there must be some divisions among you in order to show who are the ones in the right).

Thus, when you gather together, it is not to eat a meal of the Lord;

because as you eat your meal, each one goes ahead on his own; so that one stays hungry while another is already drunk!

Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or are you trying to show your contempt for God’s Messianic community and embarrass those who are poor? What am I supposed to say to you? Am I supposed to praise you? Well, for this I don’t praise you!
