BUT I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; read more.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock which followed them; but that rock was Christ. Nevertheless with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were destroyed in the wilderness. Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted. Neither be ye idolaters as some of them; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport themselves." Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them also committed, and in one day fell twenty-three thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and perished by the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them as examples, but they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

BUT there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers also among you, who wickedly introduce damnable heresies, and deny the sovereign Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction. And many will go out of the way after their fatal errors; by means of whom the way of truth will be injuriously reviled. And with plausible speeches will they avariciously make gain of you whose condemnation from of old lingereth not, and their perdition doth not slumber. read more.
For if God spared not the angels when they sinned, but casting them bound in chains of darkness into hell, delivered them to be kept fast until the judgment; and spared not the old world, but guarded safely Noah the eighth person, the preacher of righteousness, when he brought a deluge on the world of the ungodly: and reducing the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemned them to final destruction, making them an example for all who in future should live ungodly;
