(1 Corinthians 14). The masters and patrons (the leisure class) had to wait for the slaves and clients (the working class) to get off work before beginning the meal; otherwise they would be eating their own supper, not the Lord’s Supper (1 Cor. 11:17–22). If speaking in tongues (“glossolalia”) was practiced, there should be interpretation so that others would be edified. Glossolalia should be restricted to two or three at most and only two or three prophets should speak—one at a time (1 Cor. 14:27).
