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:
“one taketh before other--the rich "before" the poor, who had no supper of their own. Instead of "tarrying for one another" (Co1 11:33); hence the precept (Co1 12:21, Co1 12:25). his own supper--"His own" belly is his God (Phi 3:19); "the Lord's Supper," the spiritual feast, never enters his thoughts. drunken--The one has more than is good for him, the other less [BENGEL].”
