OET (OET-RV) So brothers and sisters, when you come together to celebrate this, wait for each other.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀδελφοί
brothers
Although brothers is masculine, Paul is using it to refer to any believer, whether man or woman. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express brothers with a non gendered word or refer to both genders. Alternate translation: “brothers and sisters”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
συνερχόμενοι εἰς τὸ φαγεῖν
coming_together for the_‹time› /to/_eat
Here, coming together to eat is the situation in which the Corinthians are to wait for one another. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the relationship between these statements by clarifying that coming together to eat is the context in which they should wait for one another. Alternate translation: “whenever you come together to eat” or “at the time you come together to eat”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
συνερχόμενοι εἰς τὸ φαγεῖν
coming_together for the_‹time› /to/_eat
Here Paul implies that they are eating the Lord’s Supper. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this implication explicitly. Alternate translation: “coming together to participate in the Lord’s Supper”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀλλήλους ἐκδέχεσθε
one_another /be/_awaiting
Here you should follow the interpretation of “each one takes his own supper first” that you chose in 11:21. To wait for one another could be a command to: (1) avoid receiving food before others. This could prohibit people from receiving food that was specially prepared for them ahead of time in proportion to their social status. Or, it could prohibit the people who were served first from eating more than their fair share and using up all the food before others were served. Alternate translation: “eat the same food as everyone else” or “wait to eat until everyone has been served” (2) show hospitality to other believers by not devouring one’s own food and instead sharing with others. Alternate translation: “show hospitality to one another” or “share with one another”
11:17-34 Paul addresses problems in the way the Corinthians were relating to each other and to the Lord while taking the Lord’s Supper.
