2 | We only get what we can handle? | 1 Cor 10:13 | Timothy Paul | 60621 | ||
Dear canham00, a verse like this is best read in context, as within the entire chapter, or at least the verse preceding and following. vs. 12 says,"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!" Here is what my favorite commentator Matthew Henry) says about that verse, "He who thinks he stands is not likely to keep his footing, if he fears no fall, nor guards against it. God has not promised to keep us from falling, if we do not look to ourselves: his protection supposes our own care and caution." And the following two verses (vss 14,15)read, "Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say." "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." (Mat 13:43) Welcome to this forum, Peace and blessings, Tim |
