15 I speak to you as sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

1 Corinthians 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:15

I speak as to wise men
That is, what he was now going to say concerning the Lord's supper, and the communion which believers have with Christ in it, which they as Christians must have knowledge of; and concerning the participation of the altar the Israelites had, who ate of the sacrifices of it, which many of them, being Jews, as such must know; and therefore being fully persuaded of the propriety and pertinency of the instances he was about to produce, and of the justness of his reasoning upon them, he appeals to the Corinthians, as men of wisdom and understanding in these things, and makes them themselves judges thereof:

judge what I say;
consider and weigh the matter well, and you will discern and judge that what I say is proper and pertinent, just and right.

1 Corinthians 10:15 In-Context

13 Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.

14 So then, my dear friends, keep away from the worship of idols.

15 I speak to you as sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

16 The cup we use in the Lord's Supper and for which we give thanks to God: when we drink from it, we are sharing in the blood of Christ. And the bread we break: when we eat it, we are sharing in the body of Christ.

17 Because there is the one loaf of bread, all of us, though many, are one body, for we all share the same loaf.
