1 Corinthians 11:17-19
Darby Translation
17 But [in] prescribing [to you on] this [which I now enter on], I do not praise, [namely,] that ye come together, not for the better, but for the worse.
18 For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit [to it].
19 For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.

New International Version
Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper(A)
17 In the following directives I have no praise for you,(B) for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions(C) among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.(D)
