1 Corinthians 10:6 Context
4And did all drinke the same spirituall drinke: (for they dranke of that spirituall Rocke that followed them: and that Rocke was Christ) 5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were ouerthrowen in the wildernesse. 6Now these things were our examples, to the intent wee should not lust after euil things, as they also lusted. 7Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them, as it is written, The people sate downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play. 8Neither let vs commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twentie thousand.

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|
