1Cor 11:22 | MHM | STEP | v. 22 : Paul says, “What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not” (1 Corinthians 11:22 ). He blames them for acting in a way that shows disrespect to both the church and the poorer believers. If they just wanted to eat and drink, they could do that at home. But at the Lord’s table, their greed and selfishness showed contempt for God’s people and the meaning of the Lord’s Supper. Paul gives a strong warning that such behavior is a serious sin and has no place among Christians.
