1 Corinthians 10:1–11

Moreover, brethren, ^aI would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under ^aathe cloud, and all passed through ^bthe sea; ²And were all baptized ^cunto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; ³And did all eat the same ^dspiritual meat; ⁴And did all drink the same ^espiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that ^||followed them: and that Rock was Christ. ⁵But with many of them ^fGod was not well pleased: for ^gthey were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶Now these things were ^†our ^hexamples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as ⁱthey also lusted. ⁷Neither be ye ^kidolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, ^lThe people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. ⁸Neither let us ^mcommit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day ⁿthree and twenty thousand. ⁹Neither let us tempt Christ, as ^osome of them also tempted, and ^pwere destroyed of serpents. ¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as ^qsome of them also murmured, and ^rwere destroyed of ^sthe destroyer. ¹¹Now all these things happened unto them for ^||hensamples: and ^tthey are written for our admonition, ^uupon whom the ends of the world are come.
