1 Corinthians 10:1-8 ▼

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

2 and all were baptized into 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 were all drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

5 But God was not pleased with most of them, for they were cut down in the wilderness.

6 These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did.

7 So do not 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 And let us not be immoral, as some of them were, and twenty-three thousand died in a single day.
