1 Corinthians 10:1-13 ( KJV) 


Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 

{2} And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 

{3} And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 

{4} And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 

{5} But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 

{6} Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 

{7} Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 

{8} Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 

{9} Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 

{10} Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 

{11} Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 

{12} Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 

{13} There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
