Context of 1 Corinthians 10:15
13No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able [to bear], but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that [ye] should be able to bear [it]. 14Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to intelligent [persons]: do ye judge what I say. 16The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not [the] communion of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not [the] communion of the body of the Christ? 17Because we, [being] many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 10:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15I 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.
