Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2
and were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3
and all ate the same spiritual food;
4
and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
5
However with most 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 idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
8
Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
9
Neither let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
10
Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
