1 Corinthians 11:22

1 Corinthians 11:22

20 Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper.

21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and ^aanother is drunk.

22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise ^athe church of God and ^bshame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said,¹ “Take, eat; this is My body which is² broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

shame them that have not—namely, houses to eat and drink in, and who, therefore, ought to have received their portion at the love-feasts from their wealthier brethren.

I praise you not—resuming the words (I Corinthians 11:17).
