Robertson: 1Co 10:15 - -- As to wise men ( hōs phronimois ). No sarcasm as in 2Co 11:19, but plea that they make proper use of the mind (phren ) given them.

As to wise men ( hōs phronimois ).

No sarcasm as in 2Co 11:19, but plea that they make proper use of the mind (phren ) given them.

Vincent: 1Co 10:15 - -- Wise ( φρονίμοις ) See on wisdom , Luk 1:17; see on wisely , Luk 16:8. The warning against the sacrificial feasts and the allusion i...

Wise ( φρονίμοις )

See on wisdom , Luk 1:17; see on wisely , Luk 16:8. The warning against the sacrificial feasts and the allusion in 1Co 10:3 suggest the eucharistic feast. An act of worship is sacramental, as bringing the worshipper into communion with the unseen. Hence he who practices idolatry is in communion with demons (1Co 10:20), as he who truly partakes of the Eucharist is in communion with Christ. But the two things are incompatible (1Co 10:21). In citing the Eucharist he appeals to them as intelligent (wise) men, concerning a familiar practice.

JFB: 1Co 10:15 - -- Appeal to their own powers of judgment to weigh the force of the argument that follows: namely, that as the partaking of the Lord's Supper involves a ...

Appeal to their own powers of judgment to weigh the force of the argument that follows: namely, that as the partaking of the Lord's Supper involves a partaking of the Lord Himself, and the partaking of the Jewish sacrificial meats involved a partaking of the altar of God, and, as the heathens sacrifice to devils, to partake of an idol feast is to have fellowship with devils. We cannot divest ourselves of the responsibility of "judging" for ourselves. The weakness of private judgment is not an argument against its use, but its abuse. We should the more take pains in searching the infallible word, with every aid within our reach, and above all with humble prayer for the Spirit's teaching (Act 17:11). If Paul, an inspired apostle, not only permits, but urges, men to judge his sayings by Scripture, much more should the fallible ministers of the present visible Church do so.

JFB: 1Co 10:15 - -- Refers with a mixture of irony to the Corinthian boast of "wisdom" (1Co 4:10; 2Co 11:19). Here you have an opportunity of exercising your "wisdom" in ...

Refers with a mixture of irony to the Corinthian boast of "wisdom" (1Co 4:10; 2Co 11:19). Here you have an opportunity of exercising your "wisdom" in judging "what I say."

Clarke: 1Co 10:15 - -- I speak as to wise men - The Corinthians valued themselves not a little on their wisdom and various gifts; the apostle admits this, and draws an arg...

I speak as to wise men - The Corinthians valued themselves not a little on their wisdom and various gifts; the apostle admits this, and draws an argument from it against themselves. As ye are so wise, surely ye can see the propriety of abominating idolatry of every kind: for an idol is nothing in the world, and can do nothing for you and nothing against you.

Calvin: 1Co 10:15 - -- 15.I speak as to wise men As he was about to take his argument from the mystery of the Supper, he arouses them by this little preface, that they may ...

15.I speak as to wise men As he was about to take his argument from the mystery of the Supper, he arouses them by this little preface, that they may consider more attentively the magnitude of the thing. 573 “I do not address mere novices. You understand the efficacy of the sacred Supper in it we are ingrafted into the Lord’s body. How unseemly a thing is it then, that you should enter into fellowship with the wicked, so as to be united in one body. At the same time, he tacitly reproves their want of consideration in this respect, that, while accurately instructed in the school of Christ, they allowed themselves in gross vice, as to which there was no difficulty in forming an opinion.

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.
