1 Corinthians 10:1-7

1I don’t want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that moved ahead of them, and all of them walked through the sea on dry ground.

2In the cloud and in the sea, all of them were baptized as followers of Moses.

3All of them ate the same spiritual food,

4and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ.

5Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

6These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,

7or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.”
