1. Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2. and were all immersed into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3. and all ate the same spiritual food;
4. and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Messiah.
5. However with most 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. Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
8. Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
