1 CORINTHIANS 11:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.”
For when you are eating, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk — the Corinthians' problem is stark social inequality; the wealthy eat their full meal (and drink wine to excess) before the poor arrive, who then find little left, creating a parody of communion that mocks the gospel of reconciliation.
