Living_Oracles(i)
1 Now, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all 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 did eat the same spiritual meat;
4 and all did drink the same spiritual drink; (for they drank of the spiritual rock, which followed them, and that rock was Christ.)
5 Nevertheless, with the greater part of them, God was not well pleased; for they were cast down in the wilderness.
6 Now, these things have become types to us, in order that we should not be lusters after evil things, even as they lusted.
7 Neither be you idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat, and to drink, and rose up to dance."
8 Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them committed whoredom, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thousand.
9 Neither let us grievously tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.
10 Neither murmur you, as even some of the murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
11 Now, all these things happened to them as types; and are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come.
12 Wherefore, let him who thinks he stands, take heed, lest he fall.
13 No trial has come upon you but such as belongs to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried above what you are able, but will, with the trial, also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear.
