1 Corinthians 10

¹For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

²and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

³and did all eat the same spiritual food;

⁴and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.

⁵Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

⁷Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

⁸Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

⁹Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.

¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.

¹¹Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

¹²Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

¹³There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.
