1 CORINTHIANS 10:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: 'The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.' — The quotation recalls the golden calf incident (Exod 32:6). Idolatry and debauchery went together; eating and drinking became occasions for pagan worship. Paul applies this directly: idolatry is the danger facing Corinthians who attend idol feasts. The precedent warns against syncretism and false worship.
