and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock which followed them, and that rock was Christ; but with many of them God was not pleased; for they were destroyed in the wilderness. But these things are examples for us, that we should not desire evil things, as they did. Neither be idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written; The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them did and fell in one day twenty-three thousand. Neither let us try Christ, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents. Neither do you complain as some of them complained and were destroyed by the destroyer. All these things happened to them as examples, and are recorded for our admonition on whom the ends of the ages have come; so that he who thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he fall.

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but plunging them into Tartarus delivered them up in chains to be kept in darkness till the judgment, and spared not the old world, but preserved Noah a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, bringing the flood on the world of the ungodly, and condemned Sodom and Gomorrah to be overthrown, reducing them to ashes, making them an example to those who should afterwards be wicked,
