• The apostle ... maintains the principle of partaking in an evil which you may not yourself do, and especially in things sacred….It is in vain to plead that the heart is not in what one allows outwardly, not only on moral grounds but because it slights Christ and ignores Satan's wiles. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 10:12-22” by W. Kelly)
• He begins his appeal with that which had the deepest meaning as to Christ; he leaves for the next place what most impressively conveys the fellowship of the saints with Christ as one body. It is so viewed as to compare it best with the peace offerings of Israel and the sacrifices of the heathen. Fellowship there is in each. The worshippers share in common what distinguishes them from all others. In the church's case it is the blood and body of Christ. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 10:12-22” by W. Kelly)
• Together we bless the cup, together we break the bread in thanksgiving before Him who has blessed us beyond all thought; and herein is communion. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 10:12-22” by W. Kelly)
• There is association and communion through the table of which we partake with that which is on it. (“1 Corinthians 10” by J.N. Darby)
• In speaking of blessing the cup, there is no thought of an individual consecrating the elements according to the ideas of corrupt Christendom. The apostle says, "we" bless, "we" break, and "we" partake. It is an act of thanksgiving in which all who partake have their part. (“1 Corinthians 10” by H. Smith)
• For this cup we can bless, or give thanks. In speaking of blessing the cup, there is no thought of an individual consecrating the elements according to the ideas of corrupt Christendom. The apostle says, "we" bless, "we" break, and "we" partake. It is an act of thanksgiving in which all who partake have their part. (“1 Corinthians 10” by H. Smith)
• In partaking of the loaf we express two great truths. First, in the broken loaf—"the bread which we break"—we set forth the great truth that we have part in Christ's death, His body given for us. Secondly, in the unbroken loaf we have a symbol of the mystical body of Christ, which includes every true believer, and, in partaking of the "one bread", we set forth our identification with the one body of which Christ is the Head and all believers members. (“1 Corinthians 10” by H. Smith)
• By our taking "the cup of blessing" we express our communion one with another in the efficacy of the blood of Christ, and at the same time avow our identification with all the value of that blood before God. (article #86546)
• When we partake of the one loaf, we express our communion one with another, as members of the one body, in the sacrifice of the body of Christ (for it is the actual body of Christ, offered through the Eternal Spirit without spot to God, to which reference is here made); and we also avow our identification, as known by faith, with all the sweet savor of that sacrifice before God. (article #86546)

The cup of blessinga which we bless, is it not fellowship with the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not fellowship with the body of the Christ?

WK Translation Notes

a
It is not that "the cup of blessing" (eulogias) is exactly equivalent to "which we bless" (eulogoumen), but clearly they can be used to a certain extent interchangeably; they express with a shade of difference the self-same act, neither prayer for a miracle nor the form of effecting one, but very simply a benediction or thanksgiving. If our ordinary food be sanctified by the word of God and prayer, who could think of the supper of the Lord without blessing and thanksgiving?
