1 Corinthians 11:22

22. What!—Greek, "For."

houses—(compare 1Co 11:34) —"at home." That is the place to satiate the appetite, not the assembly of the brethren [ALFORD].

despise ye the church of God—the congregation mostly composed of the poor, whom "God hath chosen," however ye show contempt for them (Jas 2:5); compare "of God" here, marking the true honor of the Church.

shame them that have not—namely, houses to eat and drink in, and who, therefore, ought to have received their portion at the love-feasts from their wealthier brethren.

I praise you not—resuming the words (1Co 11:17).
