1 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were 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 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 desired. 7 Neither become idolaters, as certain of them, as it has 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 committed whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand; 9 neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them tempted, and perished by the serpents; 10 neither murmur, as also some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. 11 And all these things happened to those persons as types, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages came, 12 so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.
