Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 11:33-34

1 Corinthians 11:33-34. Wherefore, my brethren To conclude what I have to say to you on this subject; when ye come together to eat To celebrate the Lord’s supper; tarry one for another With decency and respectful love, till the whole assembly be convened, and then join all together at the same table and time, without such factions and divisions. And if any man hunger Which probably was the pretence of those that were guilty of the fore- mentioned disorders; let him eat at home At his... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

The Lord’s Supper (11:17-34)God’s purpose was that the Lord’s Supper should demonstrate and strengthen the unity of his people in one body (see 10:16-17), but the way the church in Corinth practised it, it produced the opposite effect. It caused Christians to break into opposing groups. The only advantage in this, Paul ironically points out, is that it enables a person to see how many good Christians there really are (17-19).The practice in those days was that when Christians met for the Lord’s... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:34

If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.This was the apostolic order that resulted in the separation of the Agape from the Lord's Supper and the eventual discontinuation of the former. The Lord's Supper was here elevated to a position higher than that of merely satisfying the appetites. The hungry should eat at home. Nevertheless, the beauty of the [Greek: agape], as practiced in the primitive... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:33-34

1 Corinthians 11:33-34. Tarry one for another, &c.— Some would read this passage thus, Wait one for another, (and if any man hunger, let him eat at home) THAT ye may not come together to your guilt. See Musculus and Bengelius. Inferences.—It is the duty of Christians frequently to remember the honourable relation in which they stand to Christ, as their head; and as beyond all doubt, under his mediatorial character, he is most willingly and joyfully subject to God, we should learn to imitate... read more

D. The Lord’s Supper 11:17-34Most of the Corinthians had been following Paul’s instructions regarding women’s head-coverings so he commended them (1 Corinthians 11:2), but he could not approve their practice at the Lord’s Supper. They needed to make some major changes there. What they were doing cut at the heart of both the gospel and the church. This is the one certain situation in the Corinthian church that Paul addressed in chapters 7-16 that the Corinthians themselves had not asked him... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 11:34

If some of the Corinthian Christians were too hungry to wait to eat, they should eat something before they came to the service. Otherwise their unloving selfishness might result in the Lord’s judgment. It is very important to the Lord that we put the needs of others before our own needs (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:22; 1 Corinthians 10:33; Mark 10:45; Romans 15:2; Galatians 1:10; Philippians 2:3; et al.).Evidently there were other details of how the Corinthians were behaving when they congregated that... read more
