1 Corintios 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:11

Now all these things happened unto them
All these punishments came upon them in various ways, not by chance, but by the will of God, and as their sins deserved:

and were for ensamples;
to others, to their future posterity, and to the churches of God in all ages:

and they are written for our admonition;
that men in a church state particularly may take warning, by these instances of their sin and punishment, to avoid the one and escape the other, and not presume upon their external privileges and favours:

upon whom the ends of the world are come;
"or in whom the ends of ages are met"; for the apostle does not mean this material visible world, the universe and all things in it, which has continued, since the writing of this, about two thousand years: but the Jewish ages, or times of the Mosaic economy, which begun when these instances of sin and punishment were, and which now in the times of the apostles were at an end; everything in those periods that were figurative and emblematical, having their fulfilling end and accomplishment, and also were now abrogated: likewise the ages or times of Gentile darkness and ignorance may be intended, which now were come to an end, through the light of the Gospel, and the power of God attending the ministration of it; and hence the ends both of the Jewish and Gentile ages may be said to come upon, or meet in the apostles and their times, who had the advantage of looking back on former ones, and of receiving instruction from thence.

1 Corintios 10:11 In-Context

9 Ni provoquemos al Señor, como algunos de ellos le provocaron, y fueron destruidos por las serpientes.

10 Ni murmuréis, como algunos de ellos murmuraron, y fueron destruidos por el destructor.

11 Estas cosas les sucedieron como ejemplo, y fueron escritas como enseñanza para nosotros, para quienes ha llegado el fin de los siglos.

12 Por tanto, el que cree que está firme, tenga cuidado, no sea que caiga.

13 No os ha sobrevenido ninguna tentación que no sea común a los hombres; y fiel es Dios, que no permitirá que vosotros seáis tentados más allá de lo que podéis soportar, sino que con la tentación proveerá también la vía de escape, a fin de que podáis resistirla.
