¹For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; ²and all were baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; ³and all ate the same spiritual food, ⁴and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them: (now the rock was the Christ;) ⁵yet God was not pleased with the most of them, for they were strewed in the desert.

⁶But these things happened as types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted. ⁷Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. ⁸Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. ⁹Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents. ¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. ¹¹Now all these things happened to them as types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.
