Chapter Level Commentary:
τύποι ] Lachm. and Rück. read τυπικῶς , following A B C K à , min[1564] Syr. p[1565] (on the margin), and many Fathers. Rightly; the Recept[1566], defended by Reiche, is a repetition from 1Co_10:6. As connected with τυπικῶς , however, and resting on very much the same attestation (including à ), συνέβαινεν should be adopted in place of συνέβαινον .
κατήντησεν ] Lachm. and Tisch. have κατήντηκεν , on the authority of B D* E* F G à , 39, 46, and some Fathers. An instance of the frequent transformation of the perfect into the aorist form, with which the transcribers were more familiar.—1Co_10:13. Elz. has ὑμᾶς after δύνασθαι ; but this is an addition opposed by decisive evidence.—1Co_10:19. Lachm. Rück. and Tisch. invert the order of the two questions, following B C** D E à **, min[1567] Copt. Sahid. Aeth. Vulg. Aug. Ambrosiast. Pel. Bede. Rightly. One of the two queries came to be left out, owing to the similarity in sound (so still in A C* and à *), and was afterwards restored where it seemed to stand most naturally (according to the order of origin and operation). Reiche, nevertheless, in his Comm. crit. I. p. 240 f., tries to defend the Recept[1568] (K L, with most of the min[1569] Syr[1570] utr. Goth. and Greek Fathers).—1Co_10:20. ἃ θύει τὰ ἔθνη ] Lachm. Rück. and Tisch. read ἃ θύουσιν , on very preponderant evidence (as also θύουσιν afterwards). The missing subject τὰ ἔθνη was joined on to θύουσιν (so still in A C à ), which thereupon drew after it the change to θύει .—1Co_10:23. Elz. has μοι after πάντα , against decisive evidence. Borrowed from 1Co_6:12.—1Co_10:24. After ἑτέρου Elz. has ἒκαστος , in face of decisive testimony. Supplied, perhaps, from remembrance of Php_2:4.—1Co_10:27. δέ ] is wanting in A B D* F G à , and some min[1571] Copt. Vulg. Antioch. Chrys. Aug. Ambrosiast. Pel. al[1572] Lachm. and Rück. are right in rejecting it as a mere connective addition.—1Co_10:28. ἱερόθυτον ] approved by Griesb., and adopted by Lachm. Rück. Tisch. Elz. and Scholz again have εἰδωλόθυτον , contrary to A B H à , Sahid. and the indirect witnesses given by Tisch. The commoner word (which is defended by Reiche) was first written on the margin, and then taken into the text.
After συνείδησιν Elz. has τοῦ γὰρ Κυρίου ἡ γῆ κ . τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς . A repetition of the clause in 1Co_10:26, which crept from the margin into the text; it is condemned by decisive testimony, as is also the δέ which Elz. puts after εἰ in 1Co_10:30.

CONTENTS on to 1Co_11:1.
The warnings supplied by the history of our fathers urge us to this self-conquest (1Co_10:1-11). Beware, therefore, of a fall; the temptation has not yet gone beyond what you are able to bear, and God’s faithfulness will not suffer it to do so in the future; flee, then, from idolatry (1Co_10:12-14). This exhortation is supported, as regards the eating of sacrificial meat, by the analogies of the Lord’s Supper and the Jewish usages in partaking of sacrifices (1Co_10:15-18). And therewith Paul returns from the long digression, which has occupied him since 1Co_9:1, to his main subject, which he is now in a position to wind up and dispose of with all the more vigour and terseness (1Co_10:19 to 1Co_11:1).
