2. and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea;
3. and all the same spiritual food did eat,
4. and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
5. but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
6. and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.
7. Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;'
8. neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
9. neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;
10. neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.
11. And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,
12. so that he who is thinking to stand--let him observe, lest he fall.
13. No temptation hath taken you--except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].
