For ^(C1)I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all ^(C2)under the cloud and they all ^(C3)passed through the sea;

and they all were ^(C1)baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

and they all ^(C1)ate the same spiritual food,

and all ^(C1)drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was ^(F1)Christ.

Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased; for their dead bodies were ^(C1)spread out in the wilderness.

Now these things happened as ^(C1)examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as ^(C2)they indeed craved them.

Do not be ^(C1)idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: "^(C2)THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND TO DRINK, AND ROSE UP TO ^(C3)PLAY."

Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as ^(C1)some of them ^(F1)did, and ^(C2)twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as ^(C1)some of them ^(F1)did, and were killed by the snakes.

Nor ^(C1)grumble, as some of them ^(F1)did, and ^(C2)were killed by the ^(C3)destroyer.

Now these things happened to them as an ^(C1)example, and ^(C2)they were written for our instruction, upon whom ^(C3)the ends of the ages have come.
