‏ 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).
