1 Corinthians 10:4

2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

3 all ate the same ^aspiritual food,

4 and all drank the same ^aspiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies ^awere scattered in the wilderness.

6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as ^athey also lusted.

7 ^aAnd do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, ^b“The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”

8 ^aNor let us commit sexual immorality, as ^bsome of them did, and ^cin one day twenty-three thousand fell;

9 nor let us¹ tempt Christ, as ^asome of them also tempted, and ^bwere destroyed by serpents;

10 nor complain, as ^asome of them also complained, and ^bwere destroyed by ^cthe destroyer.

11 Now¹ all these things happened to them as examples, and ^athey were written for our admonition, ^bupon whom the ends of the ages have come.

12 Therefore ^alet him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but ^aGod is faithful, ^bwho will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to¹ bear it.

Flee from Idolatry

14 Therefore, my beloved, ^aflee from idolatry.

1 Corinthians 10:4

And all drank the same spiritual drink - Typical of Christ, and of that cup which we drink. For they drank out of the spiritual or mysterious rock, the wonderful streams of which followed them in their several journeyings, for many years, through the wilderness. And that rock was a manifest type of Christ - The Rock of Eternity, from whom his people derive those streams of blessings which follow them through all this wilderness. Exodus 17:6.
