1 Corinthians 11:17-22, 28, 33-34

But in giving you this instruction I do not praise you, for when you meet together it does more harm than good. For first of all, when you come together as Messiah’s community, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent I believe it— for there must be factions among you, so that those among you who are tried and true may be evident. Therefore, when you meet together in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper— for each one takes his own supper beforehand, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk. What! It is certainly not that you do not have houses, is it? Don’t you have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise God’s community and try to humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? I don’t praise you for this!

But a man must examine himself, and then let him eat of the bread and drink from the cup.

So then, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. If anyone is hungry let him eat at home, so that when you meet it doesn’t lead to judgment. And the rest I will put in order when I come.
