哥林多前书 10:8 CUVS

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Corinthians 10:6-10

Warning against the corruption of idolatry and related sins: v. 6. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. v. 7. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. v. 8. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. v. 9. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Corinthians 10:1-13

See 1 Corinthians 9:23 ff for the passage quote with footnotes.1 Corinthians 10:1-5. The illustration derived from Grecian life is followed up by one taken from Jewish history. The thought set forth and established is the same just considered, viz., the, necessity of earnest self-denial for a participation in the Gospel salvation. Having expressed his own anxiety lest, with all his labors for others, he himself should fail of approval, he proceeds to substantiate his apprehension by referring... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:1-10

Learn from Bible History 1 Corinthians 10:1-10 Twice over we are told that the story of the Exodus was intended for our instruction, 1 Corinthians 10:6 ; 1 Corinthians 10:11 . It becomes us, therefore, to study the account with the honest intention to obtain all the warning and suggestion that it is capable of yielding. The great lesson is human failure under the most promising circumstances. Here were people who had been brought out of the most terrible hardships and perils, who were under... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:1-33

A great warning based on an illustration in Israel's history is contained in these words, "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." To this warning the apostle adds that there is no necessity for such falling, because the very temptations that come to man are under the divine control, and are limited to the capacity of the tempted, while out of them God always makes a way of escape. Carefully connect the opening injunction here with the closing declaration of the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:1-14

Types and Analogies 1 Corinthians 10:1-14 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By the way of introduction to this study upon "types and analogies," we wish to suggest several things, based upon the following statement, contained in 1 Corinthians 10:11 : "Now all these things are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." 1. The value of the Old Testament Scriptures to those who live today. A great many people seem to imagine that the New Testament alone is valuable for present-day... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:8

'Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.' Here the sin of sexual immorality is more clearly spelled out. If the reference is to Numbers 25:1-3 it also includes being influenced by idolatry, and eating in the presence of idols. But 'us' shows his consciousness that the sin is one he too might commit, so he does not emphasise the connection with idols directly. Sexual impropriety was highly prevalent in Corinthian society, as it is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:1-13

1 Corinthians 10:1-1 Chronicles : . From this exposition of his own willingness to waive his rights for the sake of others, closing with the solemn warning that the goal might be missed after all, Paul returns to his main theme, the meats offered to idols. He does not handle it directly in 1 Corinthians 10:1-1 Chronicles : but it is clearly in his mind. He begins by recalling the case of the Hebrews in the wilderness ( Hebrews 3:7 to Hebrews 4:13), pointing the warning he draws from it by... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:8

The story to which this verse relates is that, Numbers 25:1-9. When Balaam could not curse the Israelites, he advised the debauching of them by the Moabitish women, first enticing them to fornication and adultery, then to idolatry: and they were enticed, which caused a plague amongst them, which destroyed amongst them in one day three and twenty thousand, saith our apostle: Moses saith, that there died twenty and four thousand. There are many guesses for the clearing of that seeming... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:1-33

CRITICAL NOTES1 Corinthians 10:1.—Notice “for,” true reading, connecting closely with ix. ult. Q.d. “I am not secure from becoming a ‘castaway’; you are not yet sure of the prize; for it is ever a law of God’s people and their life,” etc. I would not … ignorant.—Found (with slight variation) in Romans 1:13; Romans 11:25; 1 Corinthians 12:1; 2 Corinthians 1:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:13. Add (for the thought) 2 Corinthians 8:1. He is a “steward of the mystery,” and is anxious to get what is entrusted... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - 1 Corinthians 10:8

fell in one day Cf. Numbers 25:9. A discrepancy has been imagined. 1 Corinthians 10:8. gives the number of deaths in "one day"; Numbers 25:9; Numbers 25:9 the total number of deaths "in the plague." Some discrepant statements concerning numbers are, however, found in the existing manuscripts of the Hebrew Scriptures. These are most naturally ascribed to the fact that the Hebrews used letters in the place of numerals. The letters for Koph to Tau express hundreds up to four hundred. Five certain... read more
