The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:9

Tempting Christ. Whether we read here "the Lord," or "Christ" the meaning is the same. The relation of Israel to Jehovah was parallel, was identical, with the relation of Christians to their Lord Christ. If we are loyal to our King Jesus, then we are in the position of the Hebrews when they reverenced and served the Lord their God; if we are traitors to him whom we call Master and Lord, then we stand in the same condemnation as rebellious Israel. The language of the apostle implies that... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:9

Neither let us tempt Christ ... - The word “tempt,” when applied to man, means to present motives or inducements to sin; when used with reference to God, it means to try his patience, to provoke his anger, or to act in such a way as to see how much he will bear, and how long he will endure the wickedness and perverseness of people. The Israelites tempted him, or “tried his patience and forbearance,” by rebellion, complaining, impatience, and dissatisfaction with his dealings. In what way the... read more

1 Corinthians 10:9-10. Neither let us tempt Christ By our unbelief and distrusting his providence, after the tokens he hath given us to encourage our faith, and engage our dependance; as some of them Of the next generation; tempted him While he resided among them as the angel of God’s presence, who led them through the wilderness, Exodus 23:20-21; Isaiah 63:9; and were destroyed of serpents From the venom of which others were recovered by looking at the brazen serpent, which was so... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:1-13

Warnings from history (10:1-13)Paul now illustrates from the history of Israel that some might join in the fellowship of God’s people, but miss out on the final blessing. All the people of Israel were united with Moses in their escape from Egypt and all enjoyed God’s provision through none other than Christ himself. But only two, Joshua and Caleb, entered into the blessing of the promised land. The rest disobeyed and were punished (10:1-5). (For relevant stories see Exodus 13:17-22; Exodus... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:9

Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.Make trial of the Lord ... refers to provoking the Lord through disobedience and murmuring against his benign government, in a sense "testing" the Lord to see whether or not he will punish the disobedient. The Old Testament background of this admonition is found in Numbers 21:5,6. Significantly, all sin and disobedience of God fall into the category of making "trial" of him. The particular sins of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:9

1 Corinthians 10:9. Neither let us tempt Christ— To tempt signifies to disbelieve, after tokens sufficient to command our faith, and engage our obedience through grace. Though the word him be not in the second clause, (some of them also tempted) it seems plainly to be implied. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:9

9. tempt Christ—So the oldest versions, IRENÆUS (264), and good manuscripts read. Some of the oldest manuscripts read "Lord"; and one manuscript only "God." If "Lord" be read, it will mean Christ. As "Christ" was referred to in one of the five privileges of Israel ( :-), so it is natural that He should be mentioned here in one of the five corresponding sins of that people. In :- it is "spake against God" (whence probably arose the alteration in the one manuscript, :-, "God," to harmonize it... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 10:1-22

3. The sinfulness of idolatry 10:1-22Paul continued dealing with the subject of going to idol temples to participate in pagan feasts in this section. In it he gave a warning to the believer who considered himself strong, the one who knew there were really no gods but the true God. Such a person felt free to accept the invitation of a pagan neighbor to dine in a pagan temple (1 Corinthians 8:10). The apostle cautioned this element in the Corinthian church because, even though there are no other... read more
