1 Corinthians 10:18

“…of the Holy and Adorable Trinity were simple bread and wine, while after the invocation the Bread becomes the Body of Christ, and the Wine the Blood of Christ, so in like manner such meats belonging to the pomp of Satan, though in their own nature simple, become profane by the invocation of the evil spirit.” — editor's note: Compare St. Paul’s argument against meats offered to idols, 1 Cor. x. 14–21: and on Cyril’s Eucharistic doctrine, see notes on Cat. xxii.

“…the holy apostle desiring to elevate in some degree, and to raise our understanding above the earth, says in a certain place, “Behold Israel after the flesh;” by which he certainly means that there is another Israel which is not according to the flesh, but accord­ing to the Spirit.” — editor's note: 1 Cor. x. 18.

“Such, then, being the state of the case, the apostle, elevating our power of discernment (above the letter), says some­where, “Behold Israel after the flesh,” as if there were an Israel “according to the Spirit.”” — editor's note: 1 Cor. x. 18.

“Whence he saith, “See ye Israel after the flesh.”” — editor's note: 1 Cor. x. 18.
