{To eat the Lord's Supper} (Kuriakon deipnon phagein).
Kuriakos, adjective from Kurios, belonging to or pertaining
to the Lord, is not just a biblical or ecclesiastical word, for
it is found in the inscriptions and papyri in the sense of
imperial (Deissmann, _Light from the Ancient East_, p. 358), as
imperial finance, imperial treasury. It is possible that here the
term applies both to the Agap(885c) or Love-feast (a sort of church
supper or club supper held in connection with, before or after,
the Lord's Supper) and the Eucharist or Lord's Supper. Deipnon,
so common in the Gospels, only here in Paul. The selfish conduct
of the Corinthians made it impossible to eat a Lord's Supper at
all.
