1
Moreover, brethren, I want not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3
And did all eat the same spiritual food;
4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7
Neither be you idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9
Neither let us test Christ, as some of them also tested him, and were destroyed by serpents.
10
Neither murmur you, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11
Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.
12
Therefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
