Greek Commentary for 1 Corinthians 11:21
Before others. Old verb to take before others. It was conduct like this that led to the complete separation between the Love-feast and the Lord‘s Supper. It was not even a common meal together (κοινον δειπνον Koinéon deipnon), not to say a Lord‘s δειπνον deipnon It was a mere grab-game. [source]
Demonstrative ος hos Nothing is left for him at the love-feast. Another is drunken (ος δε μετυει hos de methuei). Such disgusting conduct was considered shameful in heathen club suppers. “Hungry poor meeting intoxicated rich, at what was supposed to be a supper of the Lord” (Robertson and Plummer). On μετυω methuō to be drunk, see Matthew 24:49; Acts 2:15. [source]
