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.(called 'spiritual drink' because God caused water to come out of the rock). For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them. And that Rock was Christ.

This eternal being called Christ, is the one who created all things (Ephesians 3:9; Revelation 4:11) out of the intelligent invisible energy of what the Bible calls, the Father. Christ was the one who was with the Israelites coming out of 430 years of bondage in Egypt, protecting them with a cloud:.Exodus 13:21; Numbers 10:34; Nehemiah 9:19. 

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 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. 

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.

They lived for mostly selfish advantages in pleasure pursuits, not service to others or finding out why they were on the Earth in the first place. Such is the normal way of mankind.

1Corinthians 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them did and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

1Corinthians10:8 Neither let us commit fornication.(Barnes Notes:."The case referred to here was that of 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 did and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Numbers 25:9 states one thousand more, why?

1Corinthians 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also 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.(Matthew 24:1,2).regarding the destruction of Jerusalem in that time of 70 A.D. by the Romans, which was, back then, 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 fear or some other evil, whether arising from desires or outward circumstances', 'something that tries a person').taken you but such as is common to man.(Proverbs 14:12).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 welfare.(word 'wealth' not in original; it was added by translators; 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.

James 3:2; 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 Greek for word 'saved' here is 'sozo' and means 'made whole', that is, awakened to the true stance of living).
