1 Corinthians 10:1-14
1
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under a the cloud, all passed through b the sea,
2
all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
3
all ate the same c spiritual food,
4
and all drank the same d spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
5
But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies e were scattered in the wilderness.
6
Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as f they also lusted.
7
g And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, h "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
8
i Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as j some of them did, and k in one day twenty-three thousand fell;
9
nor let us tempt Christ, as l some of them also tempted, and m were destroyed by serpents;
10
nor complain, as n some of them also complained, and o were destroyed by p the destroyer.
11
Now all these things happened to them as examples, and q they were written for our admonition, r upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
12
Therefore s let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
13
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but t God is faithful, u who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
14
Therefore, my beloved, v flee from idolatry.
