What the Fathers say

1 Corinthians 10:9

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

"Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and perished by serpents." By this he again hints at another charge which he likewise states at the end, blaming them because they contended about signs. And indeed they were destroyed on account of trials, saying, "when will the good things come? when the rewards?" Wherefore also he adds, on this account correcting and alarming them.

He hints that the Corinthians, by demanding signs, are tempting Christ.
