1Cor 11:21 · Douay-Rheims
“For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.”
On this verse:
“The apostle, checking those who transgress in their conduct at entertainments, says: "For every one taketh beforehand in eating his own supper; and one is hungry, and another drunken. Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame those who have not?"”
