The Torah contains several passages that parallel the idea expressed in 1 Corinthians 10:12, which warns against overconfidence and urges humility in one’s spiritual journey. One strong parallel is found in Deuteronomy 8:11-14, where Moses warns Israel not to become arrogant and forget God after they enter the Promised Land and experience prosperity. He cautions them to remember that their success comes from God, not their own strength, lest they fall into sin and destruction. Another relevant passage is Proverbs 16:18, which states, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” While Proverbs is part of the Ketuvim (Writings) rather than the Torah, it aligns closely with the warning in 1 Corinthians 10:12. Additionally, Leviticus 26 outlines the blessings for obedience and the consequences of disobedience, emphasizing that those who think they are secure should remain vigilant in their faith. This is how Paul and the NT teaches Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
