01. Instructions for the Age of Grace part 02 (1 Corinthians 10:19-22)
• 1 Corinthians 10:19 say I is φημί (ēmi), from áō, *to shine*. Thus, it means to bring to light by speech and is usually followed by words from the speaker (cf. 1 Corinthians 10:15).

• the idol** is εἲδωλον (ĕidōlŏn) an image of a god (cf. 1 Cor 8:4).
**
• which is offered in sacrifice to idols is εἰδωλόθυτον (ĕidōlŏthutŏn), from εἲδωλον (ĕidōlŏn) and θύω (**úō), to sacrifice, thus it means anything that is offered in a sacrifice to an idol.

• εἰδωλόθυτον (ĕidōlŏthutŏn) is found 10x: Acts 15:29; 21:25; 1 Cor 8:1; 8:4; 8:7; 8:10;
1 Corinthians 10:19; 1 Cor 10:28; Revelation 2:14; Revelation 2:20).

• 1 Corinthians 10:20 Gentiles is ἔθνος (ĕthnŏs), means ethnic groups, whether they be Jewish or Gentile. The noun Gentile was not around at the time of Jesus, for it didn't appear until about 1400. The English word Gentile came from the Hebrew word גּוֹי (ôwy), which is usually translated as nation or nations, along with Gentiles and heathen in the Hebrew Scriptures (558x in 508vss).

• The Scriptures use the word ἔθνος (ĕthnŏs) carefully, always clarifying when the word signifies those who are not of Israel by referring to them as the uncircumcision (Ephesians 2:11) or otherwise contrasting them to the Jewish people. Anytime the Greek Scriptures use the word ἔθνος (ĕthnŏs), we need to be circumspect and look in context who this is written about. There are some occurrences that it used in reference to the nation of Israel (Lk 7:5; 23:2; Jn 11:48; John 11:50--52; Acts 10:22; 24:2; 24:10; 24:17; 26:4; 28:19; 1 Peter 2:9).

• Here in context, it is obvious that Paul is referring to those who are not Jewish.

• sacrifice is θύω (ō), to kill in the offering of a sacrifice.

• to devils is δαιμόνιον (ŏniŏn), from δαίμων (ōn), meaning a demon. Whenever δαιμόνιον (ŏniŏn) is used in the Greek Scriptures (60x in 52vss), it is always about demons (cf. Matthew 9:34; Mark 9:38; Luke 8:2; John 10:20; Leviticus 17:7; Deuteronomy 32:16-17).

• In 1 Corinthians 8:1-13, Paul wrote that Christians should not eat meat offered to Gentile idols, even though they had the freedom to do so, for it would cause the Jewish unbeliever to reject the message of Christ.

• Here in 1 Corinthians 10:19-20, Paul asks two rhetorical questions about idols, with both answers being that an idol is nothing.

• Paul specifically writes that the Gentiles sacrifice is to devils, and not to God. This means that in the Corinthian assembly all knew that the idol itself was just a piece of stone or wood, and the sacrifice was just an animal or vegetables. The spirit behind the idol is demonic, and he would not that the Corinthian assembly should have fellowship with devils.

• 1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot is 2 Greek words: οὐ (ŏu), no, not and δύναμαι (dunamai), which speaks of continual action.

• drink the cup of the Lord is about the words of Jesus in the Gospels (Matthew 20:22-23; Matthew 26:42; Mark 10:38-39; John 18:11). Every time, when Jesus speaks about the cup, He is referring to His upcoming death on the cross.

• When he says Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, does Paul mean we will all be crucified as well? Of course not.

• As Christians today, our identity in Jesus rests on the work of Jesus on the cross
(1 Corinthians 15:3--4; Galatians 1:4). The Greek preposition for in 1 Corinthians 15:3--4 and Galatians 1:4 is ὑπέρ (ĕr), “for the purpose of," but rather “for the benefit of." Paul writes that Jesus gave himself for the benefit of our sins, and He died to restore the honor of God (Romans 14:9).

• Thus, when Paul writes here in 1 Corinthians 10:21 that Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, he means that because our faith is built on the work of Jesus on the cross, and from which we are gifted our salvation, thus we identify with His cup.

• be partakers is μετέχω (ĕtĕchō), from á, with, denoting association, and échō, have, thus it means to share, to take part in (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:12; 1 Corinthians 10:17).
**
• Paul writes that if you are drinking the cup of the Lord**, you should not also be drinking from the cup of devils. These two cups should not mix!

• 1 Corinthians 10:22 Do we provoke...to jealousy is παραζηλόω (ēlŏō), from á to the point of, unto, implying movement toward a certain point, and ēlóō, to crave or want, to be zealous thus it means to make angry or jealous, here in context it means to make God angry or jealous because we are giving unto an idol what we should only be giving to God, our worship (Exodus 20:5; Exodus 34:14; Deuteronomy 4:24; Deuteronomy 6:15; Deuteronomy 32:16; Deuteronomy 32:21; Psalm 78:58).
****
• Paul writes that to drink the cup of the Lord, and to *be partakers of the Lord's table* which is the communion of the blood of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:16), along with drinking from the cup of devils and partaking **of the table of devils will provoke the Lord to jealousy**, which is folly for those of us who have experienced the grace of our Lord and Saviour.
