Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary 1 Corinthians 10:6

"Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted." — 1 Corinthians 10:6 (ASV)

All these experiences of the Israelites serve as examples for us to think about, lest we who also have received the covenant blessings should displease God by lusting after evil things as Israel did.
