^{1 Ref} And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

^{2 Ref} and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea;

^{3 Ref} and all the same spiritual food did eat,

^{4 Ref} and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;

^{5 Ref} but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

^{6 Ref} and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

^{7 Ref} Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;'

^{8 Ref} neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;

^{9 Ref} neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;

^{10 Ref} neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.
