They blaspheme in matters they do not understand, and like such creatures, they too will be destroyed. ...

These things took place as examples The phrase "These things took place as examples" refers to the events and narratives from the Old Testament, particularly the experiences of the Israelites. The Greek word for "examples" is "τύποι" (typoi), which can also be translated as "types" or "patterns." This suggests that the historical events recorded in Scripture serve as a template or warning for future generations. From a conservative Christian perspective, this underscores the belief in the divine inspiration and timeless relevance of the Bible. The historical accounts are not merely accounts but are divinely orchestrated lessons meant to guide believers in their spiritual journey. to keep us from craving evil things as they did To the intent.--St. Paul regards everything that has happened in history as having a divine purpose of blessing for others. All this material suffering on their part will not be in vain if it teaches us the spiritual lesson which God would have us learn from it.

(See 1Corinthians 6:12.) Verse 6. - These things were our examples. If this rendering be adopted, perhaps "examples" is the best equivalent of the original tupoi, as in Philippians 3:17, "Walk so as ye have us for an example (tupelo)." It may, however, mean "types," i.e. foreshadowing symbols, as in Romans 5:14, where Adam is the "figure" (tupos) of Christ. But, in spite of Alford's decisive rejection of it, the rendering, "Now in these things they proved to be figures of us," is at least equally probable. To the intent. Of course, the events had their own immediate instruction, but the example which they involved was the ulterior purpose of their being so ordained by the providence of God. As they also lusted.
