our examples (v.6) = lit. “these things came to pass as examples for us” \u2014 showing (as does the entire law) what will happen if the Corinthians did as the Israelites did.<\/h3>\n

lust (v.6) \u2014 Numbers 11:4<\/h3>\n

The quote in verse 7 is from Exodus 32:6 in the Septuagint \u2014 in relation to worshiping the golden calf<\/h3>\n

twenty-three thousand (v.8) \u2014 That Balaam was Satan’s instrument in seducing Israel, as narrated in Numbers 25, is recorded in Numbers 31:16. In Numbers 25:9 the number mentioned is 24,000. The fact that the apostle mentions 23,000 here affords no real difficulty. We do not agree with those who suppose that Paul was quoting from memory. Nor is there any question of a difference in readings in the original. The passage in Numbers does not say 24,000 fell in one day. Accordingly the apostle may be giving the immediate result here, while the record given by Moses mentioned the full result. \u2014 Vine, page 68.<\/span><\/h3>\n

tempt (v.9) = try, challenge<\/h3>\n

Christ (v.9) \u2014 Jehovah of the Old Testament is<\/span> Christ of the New Testament<\/h3>\n

murmur (v.10) \u2014 Numbers 16:14-47<\/h3>\n

Paul wasn’t saying that the Corinthians would be killed if they sinned. But he was pointing to the Old Testament as an example of sin and its consequences. If the Corinthians did what the Israelites did, they would certainly suffer spiritual consequences and even some natural consequences, although those who were saved wouldn’t lose their salvation.<\/h3>\n

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.\u00a0Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law\u00a0is\u00a0the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:19-20<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
