1 Corinthians 11:33

31 For ^aif we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, ^awe are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

33 Therefore, my brethren, when you ^acome together to eat, wait for one another.

34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

1 Corinthians 11:33

When ye come together to eat - Professedly to eat the Lord' s Supper.

Tarry one for another - Do not be guilty of disorder, intemperance, and gluttony; see the note at I Corinthians 11:21. Doddridge understands this of the feast that he supposes to have preceded the Lord' s Supper. But the more obvious interpretation is, to refer it to the Lord' s Supper itself; and to enjoin perfect order, respect, and sobriety. The idea is, that the table was common for the rich and the poor; and that the rich should claim no priority or precedence over the poor.
