1 Corinthians 10:2-16 - Instructions For Public Worship

² And, all, immersed themselves into Moses, in the cloud, and in the sea; ³ And, all, did eat the samespiritual food, ⁴ And, all, drank, the same spiritual drink, - for they continued to drink of the spiritual rock that followed them, and, the rock, was the Christ: - ⁵ Nevertheless, with the most of them, God, was not well-pleased, for they were strewed along in the desert.

⁶ But, in these things, they became, ensamples for us, to the end we should not be covetous of evil things, even as, they, also coveted; ⁷ Neither become ye, idolaters, as some of them, - as it is written - The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to be making sport; ⁸ Neither let us commit fornication, as, some of them, committed fornication, and there fell, in one day, three and twenty thousand; ⁹ Neither let us be putting the Lord to the test, as, some of them, put him to the test, and, by the serpents, were perishing; ¹⁰ Neither be ye murmuring, even, as some of them, murmured, and perished by the destroyer. ¹¹ But, these things, by way of type, were happening unto them, and were written with a view to our admonition, unto whom, the ends of the ages, have reached along. ¹² So that, he that thinketh he is standing, let him take heed lest he fall. ¹³ Trial, hath not taken you, save such as man can bear; faithful, moreover is God, who will not suffer you to be tried above what ye are able, but will make, with the trial, also the way of escape, that ye may be able to hold out.

¹⁴ Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry, - ¹⁵ As, to prudent men, I speak, - judge, ye, what I say: - ¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not, a sharing together of the blood of the Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not, a sharing together of the body of the Christ?
