extreme case of such “' chastening”’ unto salvation; cf. Ps. cxix. 67, εἴο.-- κρινό- peva (pr.), a disciplinary proceeding ; κατακριθῶμεν (aor.), a definitive pro- nouncement; cf. Acts xvii. 31, etc. P.as- sociates himself, by rst pers. pl., with the readers, sharing his Churches’ troubles (2 Cor. xi. 28 f.).
Vv. 33, 34a. The ‘“‘charge”’ (17) pro- ceeds from inward to outward, from self-examination (28) to mutual accom- modation respecting the Lord’s Supper. Religious decorum depends on two con- ditions,—a becoming spirit associated with fitting external arrangements, such as good sense and reverence dictate: “ And so, my brothers, when you meet for the meal, wait for one another” .— ἀδελφοί µου adds a touch of affection to what has been severely said.—cvvepxé6- µενοι Carries us back to vv. 17, 20; the same train of admonition throughout.— τὸ gayety embraces the entire Church Supper; see notes on vwv. 20 f.; the order ἀλλήλους ἐκθέχεσθε (invicem ex- pectate, Vg.) forbids the hasty and schis- matic τὸ ἴδιον δεῖπνον προλαβεῖν (21) ; Πο one must begin supper till the Church is gathered, so that all may commence together and share alike. To wait for others presumes waiting to feast with them.—éxSéxopat never means excipio (vecetve: so Hf., and a few others), but always exspecto in the N.T.; with the former sense in cl. Gr., it signifies fo re- ccive (a person) from some particular quarter.—Some might object that hunger is pressing, and they cannot wait; to these Paul says, ‘“‘If any one is hungry, let him eat at home’’—staying his ap- petite before he comes to the meeting; cf. vv. 21, 22a. The Church Supper is for good-fellowship, not for bodily need; to eat there like a famished man, ab- sorbed in one’s food—if nothing worse happen—is to exclude Christian and re- ligious thoughts.—év οἴκῳ, not ἐν ἐκ- κλησίᾳ (18: note the absence of the art.).—‘‘Coming together eis xpipa”’ (for a judgment) defines the “' coming to- gether εἰς ἧσσον ᾿΄ of ver. 17 in terms of Vv. 29-32. συνέρχησθε, pr. sbj., of the
