1 Corinthians 10:6 in Context — 1 Corinthians 10

4 et qu’ils ont tous bu le même breuvage spirituel, car ils buvaient à un rocher spirituel qui les suivait, et ce rocher était Christ.

5 Mais la plupart d’entre eux ne furent point agréables à Dieu, puisqu’ils périrent dans le désert.

6 Or, ces choses sont arrivées pour nous servir d’exemples, afin que nous n’ayons pas de mauvais désirs, comme ils en ont eu.

7 Ne devenez point idolâtres, comme quelques-uns d’eux, selon qu’il est écrit: Le peuple s’assit pour manger et pour boire; puis ils se levèrent pour se divertir.

8 Ne nous livrons point à l’impudicité, comme quelques-uns d’eux s’y livrèrent, de sorte qu’il en tomba vingt-trois mille en un seul jour.
