1 Corinthians 10

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.

¹²So that let him that thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

¹³No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able [to bear], but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that [ye] should be able to bear [it].
