1 CORINTHIANS 10:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.”
We should not test the Lord, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. — The peirazō kyrie (test the Lord) refers to Israel's murmuring in the wilderness, doubting God's providence and power. Serpent judgment (Num 21:5-6) followed their complaining. Paul warns against testing God through idolatry, which implicitly denies his supremacy.
