Context of 1 Corinthians 11:33

31But if we think carefully about ourselves, then God will not need to punish us. 32But the Lord does need to punish us sometimes. When he does that, he is teaching us not to do wrong things. Then we will not be guilty, like other people who do not know God. So, my Christian friends, be patient when you meet together to eat the Lord's Supper. Do not start to eat before everyone is ready. 34If you are hungry, you should eat at home before you come. Then, when you meet together, God will not have any reason to punish you. I will talk about the other things when I come to visit you.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 33When ye come together to eat - Professedly to eat the Lord‘s Supper. Tarry one for another - Do not be guilty of disorder, intemperance, and gluttony; see the note at 1 Corinthians 11:21. Doddridge understands this of the feast that he supposes to have preceded the Lord‘s Supper. But the more obvious interpretation is, to refer it to the Lord‘s Supper itself; and to enjoin perfect order, respect, and sobriety. The idea is, that the table was common for…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-34Verses 23-34 The apostle describes the sacred ordinance, of which he had the knowledge by revelation from Christ. As to the visible signs, these are the bread and wine. What is eaten is called bread, though at the same time it is said to be the body of the Lord, plainly showing that the apostle did not mean that the bread was changed into flesh.
