Christian Standard Bible
32 but when we are judged(A) by the Lord, we are disciplined, so that we may not be condemned(B) with the world.
33 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, welcome one another.[a] 34 If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather together you will not come under judgment. I will give instructions about the other matters whenever I come.(C)

New International Version
32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined(A) so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.(B)
33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry(C) should eat something at home,(D) so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.
And when I come(E) I will give further directions.

1 Corinthians 11:32-34
The Message
29-32 If you give no thought (or worse, don’t care) about the broken body of the Master when you eat and drink, you’re running the risk of serious consequences. That’s why so many of you even now are listless and sick, and others have gone to an early grave. If we get this straight now, we won’t have to be straightened out later on. Better to be confronted by the Master now than to face a fiery confrontation later.
33-34 So, my friends, when you come together to the Lord’s Table, be reverent and courteous with one another. If you’re so hungry that you can’t wait to be served, go home and get a sandwich. But by no means risk turning this Meal into an eating and drinking binge or a family squabble. It is a spiritual meal—a love feast.
The other things you asked about, I’ll respond to in person when I make my next visit.
