Taken from the New International Version

1 Corinthians 10: 1 - 13

1: For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were 
    all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 

2: They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 

3: They all ate the same spiritual food 

4: and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that 
   accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

5: Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered 
   over the desert. 

6: Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil 
    things as they did. 

7: Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: "The people sat down to 
    eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry."

8: We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day 
    twenty-three thousand of them died.

9: We should not test the Lord, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. 

10: And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. 

11: These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for 
      us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. 

12: So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 

13: No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; 
      he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, 
      he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
