1 Corinthians 11:20 — Meaning and Application

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. {divisions: or, schisms}

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. {heresies: or, sects}

When ye come together therefore into one place, {this} is not to eat the Lord's supper. {this...: or, ye cannot eat}

For in eating every one taketh before {other} his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

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. {have not: or, are poor?}
