1 Korinther 10:11

11 Solches alles widerfuhr jenen zum Vorbilde; es ist aber geschrieben uns zur Warnung, auf welche das Ende der Welt gekommen ist.

1 Korinther 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:11

Now all these things happened unto them
All these punishments came upon them in various ways, not by chance, but by the will of God, and as their sins deserved:

and were for ensamples;
to others, to their future posterity, and to the churches of God in all ages:

and they are written for our admonition;
that men in a church state particularly may take warning, by these instances of their sin and punishment, to avoid the one and escape the other, and not presume upon their external privileges and favours:

upon whom the ends of the world are come;
"or in whom the ends of ages are met"; for the apostle does not mean this material visible world, the universe and all things in it, which has continued, since the writing of this, about two thousand years: but the Jewish ages, or times of the Mosaic economy, which begun when these instances of sin and punishment were, and which now in the times of the apostles were at an end; everything in those periods that were figurative and emblematical, having their fulfilling end and accomplishment, and also were now abrogated: likewise the ages or times of Gentile darkness and ignorance may be intended, which now were come to an end, through the light of the Gospel, and the power of God attending the ministration of it; and hence the ends both of the Jewish and Gentile ages may be said to come upon, or meet in the apostles and their times, who had the advantage of looking back on former ones, and of receiving instruction from thence.

1 Korinther 10:11 In-Context

9 Lasset uns aber auch Christum nicht versuchen, wie etliche von jenen ihn versuchten und wurden von Schlangen umgebracht.

10 Murrt auch nicht, gleichwie jener etliche murrten und wurden umgebracht durch den Verderber.

11 Solches alles widerfuhr jenen zum Vorbilde; es ist aber geschrieben uns zur Warnung, auf welche das Ende der Welt gekommen ist.

12 Darum, wer sich läßt dünken, er stehe, mag wohl zusehen, daß er nicht falle.

13 Es hat euch noch keine denn menschliche Versuchung betreten; aber Gott ist getreu, der euch nicht läßt versuchen über euer Vermögen, sondern macht, daß die Versuchung so ein Ende gewinne, daß ihr's könnet ertragen.
