Summary for 1Cor 10:14-22: 10:14-22 ^a Paul warns his readers against anything that might be interpreted as idolatry (cp. 1 Jn 5:21 ^b), which includes eating food in honor of a pagan god.
Summary for 1Cor 10:16-18: 10:16-18 ^c Paul affirms the spiritual meaning of sacred meals. In the Lord’s Supper, believers share in the blood and body of Christ (see also 11:17-34 ^d; Matt 26:26-28 ^e; Mark 14:22-24 ^f; Luke 22:19-20 ^g). Sharing one loaf unites believers as one body in Christ, just as the pagans’ religious meals unite them with the gods they worship (see 1 Cor 10:19-21 ^h).
