1 Corinthians 11:19

“For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.”

Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 11

But in giving you this command, I don't praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat.

For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
