1 Corinthians Chapter 11, Verse 33
From BibleWiki
33: ωστε αδελφοι μου συνερχομενοι εις το φαγειν αλληλους εκδεχεσθε
33: Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry
one for another.
33: Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for
one another.
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 "1Cor 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.
- "tarry" "wait"
