The Daily Meditation

1 Corinthians 10:16-17, 24

16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not
the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread
which we break, is it not the communion of the body
of Christ?
17 For we that are many, are one bread and one
body, because we all are partakers of one bread.
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man
another’s wealth. (a)

(a) Editors note - The NKJ translation uses the words “well - being”. In the ancient Greek, the word “wealth is defined as “chrema khray'-mah something useful or needed”. There are also other direct translations meaning personal property, such as money, riches, etc. I think here, however, that Paul is referring to the prior translation, in so far as, he means that we should be mindful of others and consider their needs in life, both spiritual and natural.
