1 Corinthians 11:26

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 11:1-34

1 Corinthians 11:2 . Keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. The apostle mentions these twice to the Thessalonians, and nearly in the same words. 2 Thessalonians 2:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:6. What were they? General outlines of order in worship, and rules of private conduct for the members of the churches, whether male or female, married or single. How could the infant church subsist without traditions, that they might walk by the same rule, and mind the same things. These ordinances... read more

1 Corinthians 11:23-26For I have received of the Lord Jesus that which also I delivered unto you.Giving as we receiveAt a sailors’ meeting a seaman prayed, “Lord, make us ships with two hatchways; one to take in cargo, and the other to give it out.” A good prayer; Paul knew its answer, “I have received of the Lord that which, also I delivered unto you” (1 Corinthians 11:23). We are not storehouses; we are ships intended to trade with the heavenly country and bring supplies for a needy world.... read more

1 Corinthians 11:26-27And after the same manner also He took the cup.The sacramental cupHe doubleth the elements, to show that in Christ is not only necessary and sufficient, but also plentiful and abundant, with assured redemption. To blame, then, is the Church of Rome, which is guilty of that fault whereof Benjamin was taxed; they have “stolen away the cup.” If “to steal the chalice” be the phrase whereby men express the highest sin, what sacrilege is it to steal the wine of the chalice, from... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:26

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. Ver. 26. Ye do show ] We need no other crucifix to mind us of Christ’s passion. Hence this sacrament was by some ancients termed a sacrifice, viz. representative and commemorative, but not properly, as the Papists make it. Till he come ] There shall be a Church then, and the pure worship of God, till the world’s end, maugre the malice of tyrants and heretics. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

PAUL’S SEVENTH RESPONSE: AS TO DISORDERS AT THE LORD’S SUPPER, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34. The supper of our Lord the night of his betrayal was divisible into three parts: First, the proper passover service, according to the law of Moses; second, an ordinary meal for the natural satiation of hunger, according to custom; and, third, the eucharistic bread and wine which he then first established as a memorial of his death. Of course the first of the three disappeared at the commencement of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:23-27

2. History and nature of the Lord’s Supper, 1 Corinthians 11:23-27. To show the Corinthians what it is they are thus dishonouring, Paul now, with a formal solemnity, repeats the well-known origin of the Lord’s supper. As the Lord’s supper was a divine institute, and the agape purely a Christian rite, Paul’s history shows only the guilt of desecrating the former. The guilt accompanying the latter was the schisms and disorders produced, and which resulted in the desecration of the supper. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:26

26. As often In some periods of the Church, daily communion has been the practice. But a wiser Christian custom is to consider it as more an extraordinary event than the Sabbath service. The monthly period preserves the medium between making it too ordinary and too unfrequent. Bread As the bread of the passover was appointed by God with a significant purpose to be unleavened, there was some show of reason for using such bread by the Roman Church, but no show of reason for the Greek and... read more
