1 Corinthians 10:12

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:1-13

1 Corinthians 10:1-1 Chronicles : . From this exposition of his own willingness to waive his rights for the sake of others, closing with the solemn warning that the goal might be missed after all, Paul returns to his main theme, the meats offered to idols. He does not handle it directly in 1 Corinthians 10:1-1 Chronicles : but it is clearly in his mind. He begins by recalling the case of the Hebrews in the wilderness ( Hebrews 3:7 to Hebrews 4:13), pointing the warning he draws from it by... read more

Let him that thinketh he standeth, either in a right and sound judgment and opinion of things, or in a state of favour with God, or confirmed in a holy course of life and conversation; standeth in grace, Romans 5:2. A man may stand in these things, and he may but think that he standeth: be it as it will, he is concerned to take heed lest he fall. He may but think he standeth, and if so, he will fall: he may really stand in a right judgment and opinion of things, and be a member of the church of... read more

Let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.THE things which are recorded in the Holy Scriptures are written, not for the entertainment, but for the real improvement, of our minds.

I would not have you ignorant of the grand point, the foundation of the Hebrew religion; that our fathers, for such was the usual language of the jews and proselytes respecting the Israelites, were under the cloud, the symbol of Jehovah’s presence, and the visible token of covenant favour and protection. And this cloud distinguished them from all other nations. 1 Corinthians 10:2-4 . And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. He initiated them... read more

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. Ver. 12. That thinks he stands ] If he do but think so, if he be no more than a seemer, he will fall at length into hell’s mouth. A man may live by a form, but he cannot die by a form.
