THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS - Chapter 11 - Verse 33

Verse 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 Barnes "1 Co 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.
