1 Corintios 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:14

Wherefore, my dearly beloved
Some copies add, "brethren"; as do the Complutensian edition, and Ethiopic version; all which endearing epithets are used to persuade to attend to the exhortation enforced upon the foregoing considerations; since the Jewish fathers, who were idolaters, fell so much under the divine displeasure; and since such who thought they stood were so liable to fall, and the temptation to which they exposed themselves was of such a dangerous consequence; therefore,

flee from idolatry;
as what is most dishonourable, pernicious, and abominable: the apostle's meaning is, not only that they would not worship idols, or commit plain downright acts of idolatry; but that they would stand at the greatest distance from idols, not so much as go into an idol's temple, and there sit down and eat; which if not a real act of idolatry, had at least the show of one; and his sense is, that they would abstain from all appearance of idolatry, from every occasion of it, and whatsoever led unto it; particularly he means, that they would not eat of things sacrificed to idols as such, and in an idol's temple; which he considers as a species of idolatrous worship, and by a similar instance he after proves it to be so, even a partaking of the table of devils.

1 Corintios 10:14 In-Context

12 Si ustedes piensan que están firmes, tengan cuidado de no caer.

13 Las tentaciones que enfrentan en su vida no son distintas de las que otros atraviesan. Y Dios es fiel; no permitirá que la tentación sea mayor de lo que puedan soportar. Cuando sean tentados, él les mostrará una salida, para que puedan resistir.

14 Por lo tanto, mis queridos amigos, huyan de la adoración a los ídolos.

15 Ustedes son personas razonables. Juzguen por sí mismos si lo que digo es cierto.

16 Cuando bendecimos la copa en la Mesa del Señor, ¿no participamos en la sangre de Cristo? Y, cuando partimos el pan, ¿no participamos en el cuerpo de Cristo?
