ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 10 v10

PREFIGURING JUDAS. AMBROSIASTER: Those who were destroyed prefigured Judas, who betrayed Christ and was eliminated from the number of the apostles by the judgment of God. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

ENDURE SUFFERING THAT LEADS TO THE CROWN. CHRYSOSTOM: What is required is not only to suffer for Christ, but to endure what we suffer nobly and with all gladness, since this is the nature of every athlete’s crown. If we do not do so, punishment will come upon us who take disaster with bad grace. This is why the apostles rejoiced when they were beaten, and Paul gloried in his sufferings.
