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?  
19 What am I saying then? aThat an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?  
20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles asacrifice bthey sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.  
21 aYou cannot drink the cup of the Lord and bthe cup of demons; you cannot partake of the cLord’s table and of the table of demons.  
22 Or do we aprovoke the Lord to jealousy? bAre we stronger than He?  

All to the Glory of God

23 All things are lawful1 for me, but not all things are ahelpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things2 edify.

1 Corinthians 10:16

The cup of blessing - The apostle speaks here of the Eucharist, which he illustrates by the cos habberacah , cup of blessing, over which thanks were expressed at the conclusion of the passover. See this largely explained at the conclusion of the notes on Matthew 26:75, and in my Discourse upon the Eucharist, 8vo. 2nd edit. 1814.

The communion of the blood of Christ? - We who partake of this sacred cup, in commemoration of the death of Christ, are made partakers of his body and blood, and thus have fellowship with him; as those who partake of an idol feast, thereby, as much as they can, participate with the idol, to whom the sacrifice was offered. This I have proved at large in the above tract, to which I must refer the reader, as the subject is too voluminous to be inserted here.
