86. The Wine Used at the Lord's Table

“A. Z.,” Windsor. We consider the rendering of 1 Cor. 11:21,21For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. (1 Corinthians 11:21) as given in our Authorized Version, quite correct. The word translated “drunken” is from the same root as that rendered “Be not drunk,” in Eph. 5:18: which proves, very distinctly, that the wine used was intoxicating.
