1 Corinthians 10:7

10:7 So do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” ² 

1 Corinthians 15:32

15:32 If from a human point of view I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, ³  what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. ⁴ 

¹ tn Grk “my brother.” Both “my brother or sister” earlier in the verse and “one of them” here translate the same Greek phrase. Since the same expression occurs in the previous line, a pronoun phrase is substituted here to suit English style, which is less tolerant of such repetition.

² tn The term “play” may refer to idolatrous, sexual play here, although that is determined by the context rather than the meaning of the word itself (cf. BDAG 750 s.v. παίζω).

⁴ sn An allusion to Isa 22:13; 56:12.
