1 CORINTHIANS 10:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.”
We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in a single day twenty-three thousand of them died. — Porneia among Israel brought plague; twenty-three thousand fell (Num 25:9). The juxtaposition of idolatry and sexual sin is not accidental: pagan worship involved prostitution and sexual rites. The Corinthians, tempted toward idol feasts, risk the same downfall.
