1 Corinthians 11:17-19
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Concerning The Lord’s Supper: Your Supper Is Unworthy of The Name
17 But while commanding this, I do not praise[a]— because you are coming-together not for the better, but for the worse. 18 For first, while you are coming-together in church[b], I am hearing that there are divisions among you. And a certain part of it I believe— 19 for there indeed have-to[c] be factions among you in order that the approved ones may also[d] become known 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)
