1 CORINTHIANS 11:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.”
Don't you have homes 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 praise you for this? Certainly not! — Paul's rebuke is withering; they have homes for ordinary meals, yet they bring their class divisions into the gathered assembly, effectively despising (kataphroneite) the church and humiliating (kataischynete) the poor, contradicting the very gospel they profess.
