1 Corinthians 10:6-10
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]Now these things are our [b]examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things (A)as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, (B)The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one (C)day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt [c]Christ, as some of them also tempted him, and (D)were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them (E)also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

- 1 Corinthians 10:6 An amplifying of the example against them which are carried away with their lusts beyond the bounds which God has measured out. For this is the beginning of all evil, as of idolatry (which hath gluttony a companion unto it) fornication, rebelling against Christ, murmuring, and such like, which God punished most sharply in that old people, to the end that we which succeed them, and have a more full declaration of the will of God, might by that means take better heed.
- 1 Corinthians 10:6 Some read figures: which signified our sacraments: for circumcision was to the Jews a seal of righteousness, and to us a lively pattern of Baptism, and so in the other Sacraments.
- 1 Corinthians 10:9 To tempt Christ, is to provoke him to a combat as it were which those men do, who abuse the knowledge that he hath given them, and make it to serve for a cloak for their lusts and wickedness.
