Flee from Idolatry

14 Therefore, my beloved, aflee from idolatry.  
15 I speak as to awise men; judge for yourselves what I say.  
16 aThe cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the1 communion of the blood of Christ? bThe bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?  
17 For awe, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.  
18 Observe aIsrael bafter the flesh: cAre not those who eat of the sacrifices1 partakers of the altar?

1 Corinthians 10:16

I Corinthians 10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless. A name applied to the cup used in the Lord's Supper. Paul shows from the nature of the Lord's Supper, and of the Jewish sacrificial feasts, that to eat in an idol feast is an idol communion. Is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? Is not the cup the symbol of joint participation or fellowship of the blood of Christ. Is it not the communion of the body of Christ? Is not the bread the symbol of joint participation of Christ's body?
