1 Corinthians 10:1-14

Temptation and God’s Faithfulness

For ^aI do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all ^bunder the cloud and all ^cpassed through the sea; 2 and all were ^abaptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 and all ^aate the same spiritual food; 4 and all ^adrank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was ¹Christ. 5 Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased. For ^athey were ¹struck down in the wilderness. 6 Now these things happened as ^aexamples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as ^bthey also craved.
7 Do not be ^aidolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “^bThe people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to ^cplay.” 8 Nor let us act in sexual immorality, as ^asome of them ¹did, and ^btwenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9 Nor let us put Christ to the test, as ^asome of them ¹did, and were destroyed by the serpents. 10 Nor ^agrumble, as some of them ¹did, and ^bwere destroyed by the ^cdestroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as an ^aexample, and ^bthey were written for our instruction, upon whom ^cthe ends of the ages have arrived. 12 Therefore let him who ^athinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man, but ^aGod is faithful, who will not allow you to be ^btempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
14 Therefore, my ^abeloved, flee from ^bidolatry.
