| <p> (τὸ ποτήριον τῆς εὐλογίας , <i> ''''' tó potḗrion tḗs eulogı́as ''''' </i> , "the consecrated cup," 1 Corinthians 10:16 ): A technical term from the [[Jewish]] liturgy transferred to the Lord's Supper, and signifying the cup of wine upon which a blessing was pronounced. The suggestion that it carries with it a higher significance, as a cup that brings blessing, is not without force. The succeeding words, "we bless," are equivalent to "for which we give thanks." It was consecrated by thanksgiving and prayer. See also [[Cup]] . </p> | | <p> a cup which was blessed among the [[Jews]] in ceremonial entertainments, or on solemn occasions. Paul employs the expression ( 1 Corinthians 10:16) to describe the wine used in the Lord's supper. </p> |
