Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 10:6

10:6 Now these things were our examples - Showing what we are to expect if, enjoying the like benefits, we commit the like sins. The benefits are set down in the same order as by Moses in Exodus; the sins and punishments in a different order; evil desire first, as being the foundation of all; next, idolatry, #1Co 10:7|,14; then fornication, which usually accompanied it, #1Co 10:8|; the tempting and murmuring against God, in the following verses. As they desired - Flesh, in contempt of manna. #Num 11:4|
