1 Corinthians 10:6-13

[6] Now  were  examples,  to the intent  not  lust after evil  things,  as  they also  lusted.  [7] Neither  be ye  idolaters,  as  were some  of them;  it is written,  The people  sat down  to eat  and  drink,  and  rose up  to play.  [8] Neither  let us commit fornication,  as  some  of them  committed,  and  fell  day  three  and twenty  thousand.  [9] Neither  let us tempt  Christ,  as  some  of them  also  tempted,  and  were destroyed  of  serpents.  [10] Neither  murmur ye,  some  of them  also  murmured,  and  were destroyed  of  the destroyer.  [11] Now  happened  unto them  for ensamples:  and  they are written  for  admonition,  upon  whom  the ends  of the world  are come.  [12] Wherefore  him that thinketh  he standeth  take heed  lest  he fall.  [13] no  temptation  taken  such as is common to man:  but  God  is faithful,  who  not  suffer  to be tempted  above  that  ye are able;  but  with  the temptation  also  make  a way to escape,  may be able  to bear 

What does 1 Corinthians 10:6-13 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Though idolatry was the cause of Israel"s failure and the focus of Paul"s warning to this church, four other evil characteristics of Israel also seem to have marked the Corinthians. These characteristics also resulted in the Israelites dying in the wilderness.
