1599 Geneva Bible
14 Wherefore my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 [a]I speak as unto them which have understanding: judge ye what I say.
16 The cup of [b]blessing which we bless, is it not the [c]communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

- 1 Corinthians 10:15 Now returning to those idols’ feasts, that he may not seem to dally at all, first he promiseth that he will use no other reasons than such as they knew very well themselves. And he useth an induction borrowed of the agreement that is the things themselves. The holy banquets of the Christians are pledges, first of all of the community that they have with Christ, and next, one with another. The Israelites also do ratify in the sacrifices, their mutual conjunction in one selfsame religion: therefore so do the idolaters also join themselves with their idols or devils rather (for idols are nothing) in those solemn banquets, whereupon it followeth, that that table is a table of devils, and therefore you must eschew it: for you cannot be partakers of the Lord and of idols together, much less may such banquets be accounted for things indifferent. Will ye then strive with God? and if you do, think you that you shall get the upper hand?
- 1 Corinthians 10:16 Of thanksgiving: whereupon, that holy banquet was called Eucharist, that is, a thanksgiving.
- 1 Corinthians 10:16 A most effectual pledge and note of our knitting together with Christ, and ingrafting to him.
