He reproves them, because in holy assemblies,4. their men prayed with their heads covered, 6. and women with their heads uncovered; 17. and because generally their meetings were not for the better, but for the worse; 21. as, namely, in profaning with their own feast the Lord's supper. 25. Lastly, he calls them to the first institution thereof. If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home This phrase addresses the issue of the Lord's Supper being treated as a common meal. In the early church, the agape feast or love feast often accompanied the Lord's Supper, but some were treating it as an opportunity to indulge rather than a sacred observance. The instruction to eat at home emphasizes the need for reverence and self-control. This reflects the broader biblical principle of self-discipline and respect for holy practices, as seen in passages like 1 Peter 1:13-16, which calls for holiness in all conduct. so that when you come together it will not result in judgment And when I come, I will give instructions about the remaining matters Persons / Places / Events 1. Paul the ApostleThe author of the letter to the Corinthians, addressing issues within the Corinthian church. 2.

Judgment Refers to the consequences of improper behavior during communal gatherings, particularly the Lord's Supper. 5. Further Instructions Indicates that Paul intends to provide additional guidance on this matter when he visits Corinth. Teaching Points Proper Preparation for WorshipBelievers should prepare their hearts and minds before participating in communal worship to avoid judgment and ensure reverence. Unity and Equality in the Church The Lord's Supper should be a time of unity, not division. All members, regardless of social status, should be treated equally. Personal Responsibility Individuals are responsible for their own conduct and should ensure they do not bring judgment upon themselves or the community. Awaiting Further Instruction Be open to ongoing learning and guidance from spiritual leaders, as Paul indicates he will provide more instructions. Hospitality and Generosity Encourage sharing and caring for one another's needs outside of formal gatherings to foster a spirit of generosity and community.(34) The rest--or, literally, the remaining matters--doubtless refers to some other details connected with the charity-feasts. From the foregoing we gather the following outline of the method of celebration of the Lord's Supper in the Apostolic Church. It was a common practice amongst the Greeks at this time to hold a feast called eranos, to which all contributed, and of which all partook. A similar arrangement soon sprang up in the Christian communities, and were called agapae, or "charity-feasts." At these gatherings was celebrated--probably at first daily, and afterwards weekly--the Lord's Supper. It consisted of two parts--a loaf broken and distributed during the meal, and a cup partaken of by all present after it. This bread and this cup were distinguished from the meal itself by the solemn declaration over them of the fact of the institution (1Corinthians 11:26). The entire feast, however, had a solemnity and sanctity imparted to it by the eucharistic acts which accompanied it; and while this bread and this wine constituted the "Supper of the Lord," the entire "charity-feast" became consecrated by it as a "Lord's Supper" (1Corinthians 11:20), the phrase being similar to "Lord's day" (Revelation 1:10). To it the brethren came, not as individuals, but as members of the body of Christ. This gathering of the Church was His body now on earth; that sacramental bread and wine, the symbols of His body, which had been on earth, and which had been given for them. To the charity-feast the rich brought of their abundance, the poor of their poverty. But once assembled there everything was common. The party spirit which raged outside soon invaded these sacred scenes. The rich members ceased to discern in that gathering "the Body," and to discern themselves as "members of that Body." They regarded themselves as individuals, and the food which they brought as their own. The poor were put to shame; some of them arriving late would remain hungry, while the rich had eaten and drunk to excess. On those who acted thus there fell naturally God's judgments of sickness and of death. To correct this terrible evil and grave scandal, St. Paul recalls to them the solemnity of the act of Holy Communion, what it meant, how it was instituted. He reminds them of how the whole feast was consecrated by having that eucharistic bread and wine united with it, and he commands those who wanted merely to satisfy their natural hunger to do so at home before coming to the "Lord's Supper." The two thoughts of communion with Christ and communion with one another, and of the bread and wine being the medium of the union with Him, and the source of the Christian unity, intersect and interlace each other, like the fine threads of some tapestry which are so skilfully interwoven that you cannot distinguish them while you look on the image or scene which they definitely produce. We may with theological subtlety dissever them; but if we do so we shall lose that loving image of the Holy Communion which the Apostle wrought out in his teaching, and on which he and the early Church gazed with tender adoration, and from which they drew the deepest draughts of spiritual life. When I come.--There is no definite indication of an approaching visit in these words. They are quite general "whenever I come" Verse 34. - And if any man hunger, let him eat at home. A reminder of the sacred character of the agape as a symbol of Christian love and union. Unto condemnation; rather, judgment. In Greek, the same word (krima) is used which in ver. 29 is so unhappily rendered "damnation." But even "condemnation" is too strong; for that is equivalent to katakrima. The rest; all minor details. It is not improbable that one of these details was the practical dissociation of the agape from the Lord's Supper altogether. Certainly the custom of uniting the two seems to have disappeared by the close of the first century. When I come; rather, whenever. The Greek phrase (ὡς α}ν) implies uncertainty. The apostle's plans for visiting Corinth immediately had been materially disturbed by the unfavourable tidings as to the conditions of the Church. |
