and all drank the same supernatural drink (drinking from the supernatural Rock which accompanied them ??and that Rock was Christ), still with most of them God was not satisfied; they were laid low in the desert. Now this took place as a warning for us, to keep us from craving for evil as they craved. 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 to make sport. Nor must we commit immorality, as some of them did ??and in a single day twenty-three thousand of them fell. Nor must we presume upon the Lord as some of them did ??only to be destroyed by serpents. And you must not murmur, as some of them did ??only to be destroyed by the destroying angel. It all happened to them by way of warning for others, and it was written down for the purpose of instructing us whose lot has been cast in the closing hours of the world. So let anyone who thinks he stands secure, take care in case he falls.

Still, false prophets did appear among the People, as among you also there will be false teachers, men who will insinuate destructive heresies, even disowning the Lord who ransomed them; they bring rapid destruction on themselves, and many will follow their immorality (thanks to them the true Way will be maligned); in their lust they will exploit you with cunning arguments ??men whose doom comes apace from of old, and destruction is awake upon their trail. read more.
For if God did not spare angels who had sinned, but committing them to pits of the nether gloom in Tartarus, reserved them under punishment for doom: if he did not spare the ancient world but kept Noah, the herald of righteousness, safe with seven others, when he let loose the deluge on the world of impious men: if he reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorra to ashes when he sentenced them to devastation, and thus gave the impious an example of what was in store for them,
