Scripture Post #226: *TAKE HEED*

1st Corinthians 10:12: "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."

Context: This Scripture was from Apostle Paul and Sosthenes, unto the Church at Corinth (1st Cor. 1:1-2).

This Scripture is in connection with 1st Cor. 10:5-11, hence the "wherefore" and "take heed". In 1st Cor. 10:5-11 it makes reference of the children of Israel, and how we are to let their sin-mistakes be an example for us not to do as they did. So, he who thinks he stands, "*TAKE HEED*" to the example of Israel, lest he fall. 

1st Cor. 10:5: "But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness."

V. 6: "Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted."

V. 7: "Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

V. 8: "Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand."

V. 9: "Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents."

V. 10: "Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer."

V. 11: "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
