Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

1 Corinthians 10
¹ Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,
² all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
³ all ate the same spiritual food,
⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
⁵ But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
⁶ Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
⁷ And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
⁸ Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell;
⁹ nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;
¹⁰ nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
¹¹ Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
