Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:17 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul recognized that the Corinthians, instead of growing closer to God, were falling into the habits of the world, and so they needed a rebuke from him, in order that they might return to their former state.
