1 Corinthians 11:33

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.

'Wherefore' -the conclusion, 'applying the results of this argument in. very specific way to their situation.' (Fee p. 567)

'my brethren' -affection in the midst of severe rebuke.

'when ye come together to eat, wait one for another' -clearly this is not referring to their practice of common meals. Paul placed that practice outside the assembly. (1 Corinthians 11:22) Paul is here referring to the Lord's Supper. This is an 'eating' that is placed in contrast to. 'eating' that is caused by hunger (1 Corinthians 11:34).

'wait one for another' -'Possibly, the poor were slaves who had to work late.' (Willis p. 408)
