1 Corinthians 10:1-13 - A History Lesson From Israel
1 And I will not ye be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea; 3 And they all ate the same spiritual food 4 And all drank the same spiritual drink: for they drank of the spiritual Rock following; and the Rock was Christ. 5 But God was not contented with the most of them: for they were overthrown in the desert.
6 And these things were our types, that we be not eagerly desirous of evil things, as they also eagerly desired. 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as has been written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 8 Neither should we commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand. 9 Neither should we tempt Christ, as also some of them tempted, and were destroyed by serpents. 10 Neither do ye murmur, as also some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 And all those happened types to them; and it was written for our reminding, to whom the ends of the times have arrived. 12 Therefore let him seeming to stand see that he fall not. 13 No temptation except human has taken you and God faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but with the temptation will he also make an escape, that ye may be able to bear.
