Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the ^acloud, and all passed through the ^bsea;

 2 And were all ^abaptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

 3 And did all eat the same spiritual ^ameat;

 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that ^aRock was Christ.

 5 But with many of them ^aGod was not well ^bpleased: for they were ^coverthrown in the ^dwilderness.

 6 Now these things were our ^aexamples, to the intent we should not ^blust after evil things, as they also lusted.

 7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The ^apeople sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

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

 9 Neither let us ^atempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

 10 Neither ^amurmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were ^bdestroyed of the destroyer.

 11 Now all these things happened unto them for ^aensamples: ^band they are ^cwritten for our ^dadmonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he ^astandeth take heed lest he ^bfall.

 13 There hath no temptation ^ataken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be ^btempted above that ye are able; but will with the ^ctemptation also make a way to ^descape, that ye may be able to ^ebear it.

 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from ^aidolatry.

 15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

 16 The ^acup of ^bblessing which we bless, is it not the ^ccommunion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices ^apartakers of the altar?

 19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to ^aidols is any thing?

 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they ^asacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
