SCRIPTURE

"Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another." — 1 Corinthians 11:33 (ASV)

Therefore, my brothers.—To correct the abuses of which he has spoken, and to enable them to escape the judgments which were falling upon them, the Apostle gives them this practical advice. When you come together to this eucharistic feast, do not eagerly eat what you have brought; wait until all have arrived, and then partake of this Christian meal together. If, however, any man is really hungry, then he should satisfy his hunger at home, and come to this Supper so that he may partake of it, not for his judgment.
