American Standard Version
"For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you. "
— 1 Corinthians 11:19, American Standard Version
“For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.”
“For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.”
“For there must in fact be divisions among you, so that those of you who are approved may be evident.”
“For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved may be made manifest among you.”
“For divisions are necessary among you, in order that those who have God's approval may be clearly seen among you.”
“For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.”
But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse.
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.
For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.
When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper:
for in your eating each one taketh before other his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.
