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