Origen of Alexandria · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

1 Coríntios 10:5

Paul wants to remind us that we are not saved merely because we happen to have been the recipients of God's free grace. We have to demonstrate that we are willing recipients of that free gift. The children of Israel received it, but they proved to be unworthy of it, and so they were not saved. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 4.45.2-5

1 Coríntios 10:6

These things were written as examples for us, so that when we read about their sins we shall know to avoid them. — COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 4.46

1 Coríntios 10:13

Many do not bear it but are conquered by temptation. What God gives us is not the certainty that we shall bear it but the possibility that we may be made able to bear it. — ON FIRST PRINCIPLES 3.2.3
