1 Corinthians 10:1-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

10 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.

² And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:

³ And did all eat the same spiritual food,

⁴ And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)

⁵ But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.

⁶ Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.

⁷ Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

⁸ Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.

¹⁰ Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

¹¹ Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

¹² Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.

¹³ Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.
