1 Corinthians 10:16
_ _ The cup of blessing — answering to the Jewish “cup of blessing,” over which thanks were offered in the Passover. It was in doing so that Christ instituted this part of the Lord’s Supper (Matthew 26:27; Luke 22:17, Luke 22:20).
_ _ we bless — “we,” not merely ministers, but also the congregation. The minister “blesses” (that is, consecrates with blessing) the cup, not by any priestly transmitted authority of his own, but as representative of the congregation, who virtually through him bless the cup. The consecration is the corporate act of the whole Church. The act of joint blessing by him and them (not “the cup” itself, which, as also “the bread,” in the Greek is in the accusative), and the consequent drinking of it together, constitute the communion, that is, the joint participation “of the blood of Christ.” Compare 1 Corinthians 10:18, “They who eat ... are partakers” (joint communicants). “Is” in both cases in this verse is literal, not represents. He who with faith partakes of the cup and the bread, partakes really but spiritually of the blood and body of Christ (Ephesians 5:30, Ephesians 5:32), and of the benefits of His sacrifice on the cross (compare 1 Corinthians 10:18). In contrast to this is to have “fellowship with devils” (1 Corinthians 10:20). Alford explains, “The cup ... is the [joint] participation (that is, that whereby the act of participation takes place) of the blood,” etc. It is the seal of our living union with, and a means of our partaking of, Christ as our Savior (John 6:53-57). It is not said, “The cup ... is the blood,” or “the bread ... is the body,” but “is the communion [joint-participation] of the blood ... body.” If the bread be changed into the literal body of Christ, where is the sign of the sacrament? Romanists eat Christ “in remembrance of Himself.” To drink literal blood would have been an abomination to Jews, which the first Christians were (Leviticus 17:11, Leviticus 17:12). Breaking the bread was part of the act of consecrating it, for thus was represented the crucifixion of Christ’s body (1 Corinthians 11:24). The distinct specification of the bread and the wine disproves the Romish doctrine of concomitancy, and exclusion of the laity from the cup. |
1 Corinthians 10:16
The cup which we bless — By setting it apart to a sacred use, and solemnly invoking the blessing of God upon it. Is it not the communion of the blood of Christ — The means of our partaking of those invaluable benefits, which are the purchase of the blood of Christ. The communion of the body of Christ — The means of our partaking of those benefits which were purchased by the body of Christ — offered for us. |
1 Corinthians 10:16
The cup of (n) blessing which we bless, is it not the (o) communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
(n) Of thanksgiving: whereupon, that holy banquet was called "eucharist", which is Greek for thanksgiving.
(o) A most effectual pledge and note of your joining together with Christ, and ingrafting to him. |

Mark 14:22-25 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake [it], and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. ... Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Luke 22:19-20 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. ... Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
