1Corinthians
10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how
that all our fathers were under the cloud.(Exodus
13:21,22; 14:19,20).and
all passed through the sea.(Exodus
14:21,22);
1Corinthians
10:2,3 And were all baptized.(a
form of baptism with water surrounding them).unto
Moses
in the cloud and in the sea.(Exodus
14:21,22); And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Corinthians
10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink.(Philippians
2:5,6). For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed
them. And that Rock was Christ.
1Corinthians
10:5 But with many of them God was not well pleased. For they were
overthrown in the wilderness.(Numbers
14:22,23; 32:11,12).
1Corinthians
10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not
lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
1Corinthians 10:7,8 Neither be you idolaters,
as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and
drink and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of
them committed and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
1Corinthians
10:7,8 Neither be you idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written.(Exodus
32:6), The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.(lived
for mostly pleasure, not service to others). Neither let us commit
fornication.(Barnes
Notes:."The
case referred to here was that of the licentious
intercourse.{an
orgy
with no concern for anyone but one's immediate selfish sexual satisfaction}.with
the daughters of Moab, referred to in Numbers
25:1-9."), as some of them committed
and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
1Corinthians
10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of themalso tempted and were
destroyed of serpents.(Numbers
21:6).
1Corinthians 10:10 Neither murmur you, as some
of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer.
1Corinthians
10:10 Neither murmur.(to
murmur, mutter, grumble, say anything against in a low tone; of those who
confer secretly together and discontentedly complain:.Philippians
2:14; John 6:43).you,
as some of them also murmured
and were destroyed of the destroyer.(the
side you pick to be on by your attitude; one way leads to life and the
other into the ways of the dark side toward destruction; depends what you
focus on in this dynamic universe that responds accordingly to all that's
consistently felt to you as true).
1Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened
unto them for examples and they are written for our admonition, upon whom
the ends of the world are come.
1Corinthians
10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples.(lessons
for us today).and they are written
for our admonition (original means 'to set a
place in the mind'; in other words, so that we would learn from them and
what we learn becomes us, our heart, out of which comes our actions and
our heart and actions can clean the mass mind of evil, how?;
one of the lessons for today is if you live the way you normally may want
to, expect problems in life:.Proverbs
14:12), upon whom the ends of the world are come..(referring
to what Emmanuel had prophesied
regarding the destruction of Jerusalem in that time of 70 A.D. by the Romans,
which was to soon
come to pass)
1Corinthians
10:12 Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
1Corinthians 10:13 There has no temptation taken
you but such as is common to man but God is faithful who will not suffer
you to be tempted above that you are able but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape that you may be able to bear it.
1Corinthians
10:13 There has no temptation.(original,
'an enticement to take one to the
dark side, to engage in evil whether arising from desires
or outward circumstances').taken
you but such as is common to man but God is faithful who will not suffer.(allow).you
to be tempted above that you are able but will with the temptation also
make a way to escape.(and
one
way that could be).that you may
be able to bear it.(carry
it, endure it
{why? Proverbs 20:22}, as it
will make you more fit for the Kingdom
of God to reign here
on Earth and part of that is
accepting, not denying what it is
that you are).
1Corinthians
10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
1Corinthians
10:16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of
the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion
of the body of Christ?.(communion
was having fellowship with others who also believed what Christ came to
Earth for and that was to die for mankind, so they could live eternally,
that is, once mankind awakens
to that fact)
1Corinthians
10:17 For we being many are one bread and one
body. For we are all partakers of that one bread.
1Corinthians
10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice,
they sacrifice to devils.(called
familiar
spirits in the Old Testament).and
not to God. And I would not that you should have fellowship with devils.
1Corinthians
10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of
devils. You cannot be partakers
of the Lord's table and of the table of devils.
1Corinthians
10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.
All things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
Matthew
Poole's Commentary:."Even
in the use of things lawful we should consult the good of others."
1Corinthians
10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.(word
'wealth' not in original; inserted in old English times {1600's} when it
meant 'welfare':.Phillipians
2:3,4; that is, don't be out to selfishly set
up what seems good just for you and at the same time disregards
the welfare of others).
1Corinthians
10:26 For the earth is.(word
'is' not in original but implied).the
Lord's and the fulness thereof.(Exodus
19:5)..(original
is 'for Earth Lord fulness him' {*};
in other words, it's all God; the Creator, God, is all
there is)
1Corinthians
10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast and you be
disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for
conscience sake.
1Corinthians
10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto
idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake. For
the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
1Corinthians
10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other. For why
is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?.(some
religious people judge others as being right or wrong according to their
set of adopted beliefs, which may be 'out to lunch')
1Corinthians
10:30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for
that for which I give thanks?
1Corinthians
10:31 Whether therefore you eat or drink or whatsoever you do, do all
to the glory of God.
1Corinthians
10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles,
nor to the church of God..(1Corinthians
8:13)
1Corinthians
10:33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own
profit, but the profit of many that they may be saved.(original
for word 'saved' here is 'made whole', that is, awakened
to their true stance
of living).
