1 Corinthians 3:2

Context
3:2 I fed you milk, 1  not solid food, for you were not yet ready. In fact, you are still not ready,

1 Corinthians 10:30

Context
10:30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for the food 2  that I give thanks for?

1 sn Milk refers figuratively to basic or elementary Christian teaching. Paul’s point was that the Corinthian believers he was writing to here were not mature enough to receive more advanced teaching. This was not a problem at the time, when they were recent converts, but the problem now is that they are still not ready.

2 tn Grk “about that for which”; the referent (the food) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
