When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus with my spirit and with the power of our Lord Jesus,

when therefore the whole church is assembled, and all speak different languages, if such as are either unlearned, or are unbelievers should come in, will they not say you are all mad?

How is it then, brethren? when ye are assembled, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a language, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.

when you thus assemble therefore, this is not eating the Lord's supper.

Now in this that is commanded, I do not praise you, because ye do not assemble for the better but for the worse.

Now consider how you were when you were called, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were from prominent families.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that when you assemble it does not lead to judgment. I will give directions about other matters when I come.

If, the whole body, were, an eye, where were the hearing? If, the whole were, hearing, where were, the smelling?

And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

For in the first place, when ye assemble in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

You people know that when you were [still unconverted] Gentiles, you were led astray to [worship] lifeless idols, however you were led [i.e., wherever you turned, you were being led into idolatrous practices].
