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

² and were all baptised under Moses in the cloud and in the sea: ³ and did all eat of one spiritual meat, ⁴ and did all drink of one manner of spiritual drink. And they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, Which rock was Christ. ⁵ But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁶ These are examples to us that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted. ⁷ Neither be ye worshippers of images as were some of them according as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up again to play." ⁸ Neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed fornication, and were destroyed - in one day, twenty three thousand. ⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and were destroyed of serpents. ¹⁰ Neither murmur ye as some of them murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. ¹¹ All these things happened upon them for examples, and were written to put us in remembrance, whom the ends of the world are come upon. ¹² Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall. ¹³ There hath none other temptation taken you, such as followeth the nature of man. God is faithful, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above your strength: but shall in the midst of the temptation make a way to escape out.

¹⁴ Wherefore my dear beloved, flee from worshipping of idols. ¹⁵ I speak as unto them which have discretion: judge ye what I say. ¹⁶ Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ?
