Seems we'd have to attend to the OT allusions, and also to KURIOS, and also
to (EK)PEIRAZEIN and its NT and LXX objects. Deut 6:16 looms large: OUK
EKPEIRASEIS KURION TON QEON SOU, hON TROPON EXEPEIRASASQE EN TW PEIRASMW.
Perhaps for Paul, as for the author of Hebrews (not to mention the authors
of Luke 10:25; Matt 16:1; etc.--more refs in BDAG PEIRAZW 3), to reject or
resist TON KURION (CRISTON/IHSOUN) suggests (EK)PEIRAZEIN TON KURION (TON
QEON). If KURION is the correct reading at 1 Cor 10:9, it may be
deliberately ambiguous: Paul is reading Christ in the OT narrative (as in
10:3, hH PETRA DE HN hO CRISTOS). KURION in 10:9 may have been resolved into
CRISTON by hamfisted scribes who feared readers would miss that component of
its force; or maybe they just misread a nomen sacrum (do aleph and B use the
n.s. at that point?).
