Why, my brothers, when you come together to eat, tarry one for another.
Why, my brothers, when you come together to eat, tarry one for another.
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.
So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.
When ye come together to eat - The Lord's Supper, tarry one for another - do not eat and drink in parties as ye have done heretofore; and do not connect it with any other meal.
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 1 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.
11:33 The rest - The other circumstances relating to the Lord's supper.
