¹⁸ For first of all, when you come together as a church, ^(A)I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. ¹⁹ For ^(B)there must also be factions among you, ^(C)that those who are approved may be ^[a]recognized among you. ²⁰ Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. ²¹ For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and ^(D)another is drunk. ²² What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise ^(E)the church of God and ^(F)shame ^[b]those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

Institution of the Lord’s Supper^(G)

²³ For ^(H)I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: ^(I)that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; ²⁴ and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ^[c]“Take, eat; this is My body which is ^[d]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ²⁵ In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
