According to the Greek custom, each brought his own provisions, and while the rich fared sumptuously, the poor sometimes had little or nothing; for the spirit of division led to the exclusion by some of all who were not of their own party.

**the Lord's body** . The texts read "the body". That is, he does not recognize the common membership of all the saints ([1 Corinthians 10:17](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/10/17) ). This was the sectarian and selfish spirit rebuked in verses: [1 Corinthians 11:19-22](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/11/19-22) . Note the Figure of speech *Paregmenon.* App-6 .

**many** = not a few, as Revised Version.
**sleep** . App-171 . This verse explains what the judgment of [1 Corinthians 11:29](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/11/29) was. Temporal suffering, and even death. Compare [1 Corinthians 5:5](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/5/5) and [1 John 5:16](../../../kjv/1-john/5/16) , [1 John 5:17](../../../kjv/1-john/5/17) .
