Don't Worship Idols

10 ^(A) Friends, I want to remind you that all our ancestors walked under the cloud and went through the sea. ² This was like being baptized and becoming followers of Moses. ^3 (B) All of them also ate the same spiritual food ^4 (C) and drank the same spiritual drink, which flowed from the spiritual rock that followed them. That rock was Christ. ^5 (D) But most of them did not please God. So they died, and their bodies were scattered all over the desert.

⁶ What happened to them is a warning to keep us from wanting to do the same evil things.

^10 (A) Don't even grumble, as some of them did and were killed by the destroying angel. ¹¹ These things happened to them as a warning to us. All this was written in the Scriptures to teach us who live in these last days.

¹² Even if you think you can stand up to temptation, be careful not to fall.
