“Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;”
Choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin — Moses chose (hairetizo) suffering (kakoucheia) alongside God's people over the temporary (proskairos) gratifications of Egypt. Sin (hamartia) here refers to the fleeting pleasures of Egyptian excess. The paradox: true pleasure lies in identifying with the oppressed.
