1 CORINTHIANS 10:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?”
Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? — The cultic principle: participants in sacrificial meals are koinonoi (partners, participants) of the altar. The altar, as seat of God's presence, makes all who eat from sacrifice into covenant partners. The analogy prepares the ground for the next claim about idolatry.
