Notes

1 Corinthians 10:2

They were all baptized: Paul begins a comparison. He connects the Israelites in the time of the exodus with the Corinthians who were baptized.

1 Corinthians 10:1–11

The Israelites were God's people and experienced his salvation and provision (see Exodus 13:21–22; 14:21–29). However, they still faced his judgment because they disobeyed.

1 Corinthians 10:1–22

After sharing a personal example about giving up one's rights for others (chapter 9), Paul addresses the issue of eating meat offered to idols (8:1–13). He warns believers about God's anger towards those who sin, especially those involved in idol worship.
