If I partake with thankfulness The phrase "If I partake with thankfulness" emphasizes the attitude of gratitude that should accompany the act of partaking. The Greek word for "partake" is "μετέχω" (metechō), which means to share or participate in something. In the context of 1 Corinthians, Paul is addressing the issue of eating food that has been offered to idols. The act of partaking is not merely about consuming food but involves a deeper spiritual participation. The word "thankfulness" comes from the Greek "εὐχαριστία" (eucharistia), which is also the root for the term "Eucharist," a central act of Christian worship. This highlights the importance of a heart posture of gratitude, recognizing God's provision and blessings. Historically, meals in the ancient world were often communal and religious in nature, and giving thanks was a way to acknowledge God's sovereignty over all creation. why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks Parallel Commentaries ...
