SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:15
¶ Como a sabios hablo; juzgad vosotros lo que digo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:15
Verse 15. I speak as to wise men] The Cor. valued themselves not a little on their wisdom and various gifts; the apostle admits this, and draws an argument from it against themselves. As ye are so wise, surely ye can see the propriety of abominating idolatry of every kind: for an idol is nothing in the world, and can do nothing for you and nothing against you.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. I speak as to wise men , etc.] That is, what he was now going to say concerning the Lords supper, and the communion which believers have with Christ in it, which they as Christians must have knowledge of; and concerning the participation of the altar the Israelites had, who ate of the sacrifices of it, which many of them, being Jews, as such must know; and therefore being fully persuaded of the propriety and pertinency of the instances he was about to produce, and of the justness of his reasoning upon them, he appeals to the Corinthians, as men of wisdom and understanding in these things, and makes them themselves judges thereof: judge what I say ; consider and weigh the matter well, and you will discern and judge that what I say is proper and pertinent, just and right.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - Did not the joining in the Lord's supper show a profession of faith in Christ crucified, and of adoring gratitude to him for his salvation Christians, by this ordinance, and the faith therein professed, wer united as the grains of wheat in one loaf of bread, or as the member in the human body, seeing they were all united to Christ, and ha fellowship with him and one another. This is confirmed from the Jewis worship and customs in sacrifice. The apostle applies this to feastin with idolaters. Eating food as part of a heathen sacrifice, wa worshipping the idol to whom it was made, and having fellowship of communion with it; just as he who eats the Lord's supper, is accounte to partake in the Christian sacrifice, or as they who ate the Jewis sacrifices partook of what was offered on their altar. It was denyin Christianity; for communion with Christ, and communion with devils could never be had at once. If Christians venture into places, and joi in sacrifices to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life, they will provoke God.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
15. Wise (fronimoiv). See on wisdom, Luke i. 17; wisely, Luke xvi. 8. The warning against the sacrificial feasts and the allusion in ver. 3 suggest the eucharistic feast. An act of worship is sacramental, as bringing the worshipper into communion with the unseen. Hence he who practices idolatry is in communion with demons (ver. 20), as he who truly partakes of the Eucharist is in communion with Christ. But the two things are incompatible (ver. 21). In citing the Eucharist he appeals to them as intelligent (wise) men, concerning a familiar practice.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
10:15 {As to wise men} (hws fronimois). No sarcasm as in #2Co 11:19, but plea that they make proper use of the mind (fren) given them.
