hen you come
together in an assembly, I hear that there are divisions among you, and
some part of it I believe. [11:19]For it is necessary that there should
be heresies among you, that the approved may be manifest among you.
[11:20]When you come together therefore, it is not to eat the Lord's
supper, [11:21]for each one in eating takes his supper before the rest,
and one is hungry and another drunk. [11:22] Have you not [food] to eat
and drink at your houses? or do you despise the church of God, and
shame those who have not [houses]? What shall I say to you? Shall I
commend you? In this I commend you not.

4 [11:23]For I received of the Lord, what I also delivered to you; that
on the night in which he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread
[11:24]and giving thanks broke, and said, This is my body, which is for
you; this do in remembrance of me. [11:25]In like manner also the cup,
after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant [sealed] with my
blood; this do, as often as you drink, in remembrance of me. [11:26]For
as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you declare the
Lord's death till he comes. [11:27]So that whoever eats this bread or
drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily, is guilty of the body and blood
of the Lord. [11:28]But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of
the bread and drink of the cup; [11:29]for he eats and drinks judgment
to himself, who eats and drinks not discerning the body.

5 [11:30]For this reason many are weak and sick among you and some
sleep. [11:31]For if we judged ourselves we should not be judged;
[11:32]but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not
be condemned with the world. [11:33]Therefore, my brothers, when you
come together to eat, wait one for another. [11:34]If any one is
hungry let him eat at home, that you come not together for judgment.
The other things I will arrange when I come.

CHAPTER VI.

SPIRITUAL GIFTS.

1 [12:1]AND I wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, of the spiritual
gifts. [12:2]You know that when you were gentiles, you followed dumb
idols as you were led. [12:3]I assure you, therefore, that no one
speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus an accursed thing, and no one
can call Jesus Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

2 [12:4]And there are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit;
[12:5]and there are diversities of services and the same Lord;
[12:6]and there are diversities of operations and the same God, who
