1 Corinthians 10:17 Context
15I speake as to wise men: iudge ye what I say. 16The cup of blessing which wee blesse, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we breake, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 18Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the Altar? 19What say I then? that the idole is any thing? or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
