SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–11:1: Avoid idolatry completely

Paul addressed believers who thought it was acceptable to eat meals in an idol’s temple. First he warned them (10:1–13). He used examples from the Old Testament to show them their danger. Then he commanded them (10:14–22). He said that no one can take part in both the Lord’s Supper and idol feasts. He said that believers are free to eat meat sold in the market place unless this will hurt someone else’s conscience (10:23–30). In summary, he said that believers should control their behavior in two ways. They should praise God in everything they do, and they should not allow their actions to harm another person (10:31–11:1).

Here are some other possible section headings:

Don’t worship idols

Do everything for the glory of God

Paragraph 10:1–5

Paul gave an example of the Hebrew ancestors. They had many spiritual blessings, but they were tempted by idolatry. Because of this, they died in the wilderness.

10:3

They all ate the same spiritual food

They all ate from the same spiritual/miraculous food.
All of them ate the same bread, bread that God gave them.

They all ate the same spiritual food: God provided manna for the Hebrew people during the forty years they lived in the desert. Manna was a kind of bread that came down from the sky. See Exodus 16:4–35.

spiritual food: This food was spiritual because it came from God in a miraculous way. Paul said that there was a spiritual reality behind the manna. The people who ate it were related to God, just as believers are related to Jesus Christ when they eat communion bread.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

food which God gave them

miraculous bread

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάντες τὸ αὐτὸ πνευματικὸν βρῶμα ἔφαγον

all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί πάντες τό αὐτό πνευματικόν βρῶμα ἔφαγον)

In this verse, Paul refers to how God provided the Israelites with spiritual food while they were traveling through the desert. This food was called “manna.” For the story, see [Exodus 16](../exo/16/01.md). While Paul does not explicitly state this, it is clear that he is comparing the “manna” to the bread in the Lord’s Supper, just as he compared passing through the Red Sea with baptism in the last two verses. If your readers are not familiar with this story, you could add a footnote that refers to or summarizes the story.

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

πνευματικὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί πάντες τό αὐτό πνευματικόν βρῶμα ἔφαγον)

Here, spiritual could indicate: (1) that Paul is indicating that the food should be compared with the bread in the Lord’s Supper, which is also “spiritual.” Alternate translation: [divine] (2) that the food came from God in a supernatural way. Alternate translation: [supernatural]
