☀️ 7 - Don’t be idolaters as some were, as it’s written, “The people sat down to eat and to drink and rose up to play.” 8 We mustn’t indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did. And twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. 9 We shouldn’t put Christ to the test, as some did and were overcome by serpents, 10 nor grumble, as some did and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. {70 CE as the end of ages, beginning of the “time of the gentiles/nations” which will have its fuller scope end of the age(s).}

     12 Therefore let anyone who thinks they stand take heed lest they fall. {Especially should we think we are superior.. on a higher level than others? Can’t err..?} 13 No temptation has overtaken you that isn’t common to man. God is faithful, and won’t let you be tested beyond your ability, but with the temptation [peirasmos - temptation, trial, testing] he will also provide the way of escape [ekbasis- output, way of escape, exit] that you may be able to endure [hupophero - endure, suffer, bear up under] it.
