* Now I do not want you to be ignorant , brothers , that all our fathers were under the cloud , and all passed through the sea , * and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea , * and all ate the same spiritual food , * and all drank the same spiritual drink . For they were drinking from that spiritual Rock that followed them , and that Rock was Christ . * Nevertheless , with the majority of them God was not pleased , for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness . * Now these things took place as examples for us , in order that we should not lust after evil things , as they also lusted . * Nor be idolaters , just as some of them ; as it is written , "The people sat down to eat and drink , and rose up to play ." * Nor let us commit fornication , just as some of them fornicated , and in one day twenty-three thousand fell ; * nor let us tempt Christ , just as also some of them tempted [Him ], and were destroyed by serpents ; * nor murmur , just as also some of them murmured , and were destroyed by the destroyer . * Now all these things happened to those [people ] as examples , and they were written for our instruction , to whom the ends of the ages have come . * So then , let him who thinks he stands take heed , lest he should fall ! * No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man ; but God is faithful , who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able , but with the temptation , He will also make the way out , [so as for ] you to be able to bear it .
