1 Corinthians 10:1-8 ▼

1 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

3 They all ate the same spiritual food,

4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.

5 Nevertheless God was not pleased with most of them, since they were struck down in the wilderness.

6 Now these things took place as examples for us, so that we will not desire evil things as they did.

7 Don’t become idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to party.

8 Let us not commit sexual immorality as some of them did, and in a single day twenty-three thousand people died.
