1 CORINTHIANS 10:1-13 WARNINGS FROM ISRAEL'S HISTORY

1 CORINTHIANS 10:1-13

WARNINGS FROM ISRAEL'S HISTORY

1-For I do not want you to be ignoant of the fact,

brothers,that our forefathers were all under the

cloud and that they all passed through the sea.

2-They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud

and in the sea.

3-They all ate the same spiritual food

4-and drank the same spiritual drink;for they drank

from the spiritual rock that accompanied them,

and that rock was Christ.

5-Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them;

their bodies were scattered over the desert.

6-Now these things occurred as examples to keep us

from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.

7-Do not be idolaters,as some of them were; as

it is written:

"The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to

indulge in pagan revelry.

8-We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did

and in one day twenty three thousand of them died.

9-We should not test the Lord, as some of them did and

were killed by snakes.

10-And do not grumble, as some of them did and were killed

by the destroying angel.

11-These things happened to them as examples and

were written down as warnings for us,on whom the

fulfillment of the ages has come.

12-So, if you think you are standing firm,becareful

that you do not fall!

13-No temptation has seized you except what is common

to man.

And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond

what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also

provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
