INTRODUCTION TO 1 CORINTHIANS 11 In this chapter the apostle blames both men and women for their indecent appearance in public worship, and admonishes them how they should behave with the reasons of it; and also corrects some abuses and irregularities among them, at, or before, the Lord's supper; which leads him to give a particular account of that ordinance, of the nature, use, and design of it,...

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and...

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, — “Do you think that, as a nominally Christian assembly, you are constituted merely that you may eat and drink? ‘What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God,’” — 1Co_11:22.

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? There is your proper place if you want a meal.
