1 Corinthians 10:15

15 As to prudent men I speak, deem ye yourselves that thing that 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 Temptation take not you, but man's temptation; for God is true, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above that that ye be able; but he shall make with temptation also purveyance, that ye be able to suffer [that ye may sustain].

14 Wherefore, ye most dear-worthy to me, flee ye from the worshipping of maumets [flee from worshipping of idols].

15 As to prudent men I speak, deem ye yourselves that thing that I say.

16 Whether the cup of blessing which we bless, is not the communing of Christ's blood? and whether the bread which we break, is not the part taking of the body of the Lord? [The cup of blessing which we bless, whether it is not the communing of Christ's blood? and the bread which we break, whether it is not the dealing, or part taking, of the body of the Lord?]

17 For we many be one bread and one body, all we that take part of one bread and of one cup.
