1 Corinthians 10:1-12
1
For I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under b the cloud, and all c passed through the sea,
2
and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
3
and d all ate the same e spiritual food,
4
and f all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.
5
Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for g they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6
Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as h they did.
7
i Do not be idolaters j as some of them were; as it is written, k "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play."
8
l We must not indulge in sexual immorality m as some of them did, and n twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.
9
We must not put Christ to the test, o as some of them did and p were destroyed by serpents,
10
nor grumble, q as some of them did and r were destroyed by s the Destroyer.
11
Now these things happened to them as an example, but t they were written down for our instruction, u on whom the end of the ages has come.
12
Therefore v let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.
