1 Corinthians 10:2-16 - Instructions For Public Worship
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 drank from the spiritual rock that followed [them], and the rock was Christ. 5 But God was not pleased with the majority of them, for they were struck down in the desert.
6 Now these [things] happened [as] examples for us, so that we should not be desirers of evil [things], just as those also desired [them], 7 and not become idolaters, as some of them [did], just as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play," 8 nor commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed sexual immorality, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day, 9 nor put Christ to the test, as some of them tested [him], and were destroyed by snakes, 10 nor grumble, just as some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now these [things] happened to those [people] as an example, but are written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 Therefore, the one who thinks that he stands must watch out lest he fall. 13 Temptation has not come upon you except [what is] common to humanity. But God [is] faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will also make a way out together with the temptation, [so that you] may be able to endure [it].
14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. 15 I am speaking as to sensible [people]; you judge what I am saying. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
