and all drank from the same spiritual stream, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But in most of them God was not well pleased, for they were laid low in the desert. Now this happened as a warning for us, that we might not long for evil things as they longed. And you must not be idolaters like some of them. as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, And they rose up for idol dances. Nor must we act licentiously, as some of them did, and fell in a single day, twenty-three thousand of them. Neither must we presume upon the patience of our Lord, as some of them presumed, and were destroyed by the serpents; nor murmur, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the Destroying Angel. Now these things were happening to them typically, but were written down for our admonition who stand at the meeting of the ages. So then let him who imagines that he is standing so securely beware lest he fall.

But there were false prophets, too, among the people, just as among you also there will be false teachers. These will secretly bring in destructive sects, denying even the Master who bought them, and bringing swift ruin upon themselves. Then there will be many who will follow their immorality, because of whom the Way of the Truth will be maligned. In their covetousness, with cunning words, they will make merchandise of you; those whose doom has not been idle from of old, and whose destruction has not been slumbering. read more.
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and committed them to chains of darkness, and reserved them for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon an ungodly world; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, thus holding them up as a warning to all who would live ungodly;
