1 CORINTHIANS 11:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.”
In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good — Paul shifts dramatically from head coverings to a far more serious problem: the Corinthians' conduct at the Lord's Supper itself; their gatherings (synerchomai) have become occasions of division rather than unity, earning stark rebuke.
