1 Corinthians 10:1-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Brothers and sisters, I want you to be sure of the fact that our ancestors were all under the cloud and they all went through the sea.

2. All were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

3. All ate the same spiritual food,

4. and all drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

5. However, God was unhappy with most of them, and they were struck down in the wilderness.

6. These things were examples for us, so we won’t crave evil things like they did.

7. Don’t worship false gods like some of them did, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink and they got up to play.

8. Let’s not practice sexual immorality, like some of them did, and twenty-three thousand died in one day.

9. Let’s not test Christ, like some of them did, and were killed by the snakes.
