They drank from the spiritual rock that went with them, and that rock was Christ. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Yet, God was not pleased with most of them, so their dead bodies were scattered over the desert.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>These things have become examples for us so that we won't desire what is evil, as they did. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>So don't worship false gods as some of them did, as Scripture says, "The people sat down to a feast which turned into an orgy." <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>We shouldn't sin sexually as some of them did. Twenty-three thousand of them died on one day. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>We shouldn't put the Lord to the test as some of them did. They were killed by snakes. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Don't complain as some of them did. The angel of death destroyed them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>These things happened to make them an example for others. These things were written down as a warning for us who are living in the closing days of history. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>So, people who think they are standing firmly should be careful that they don't fall. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>There isn't any temptation that you have experienced which is unusual for humans. God, who faithfully keeps his promises, will not allow you to be tempted beyond your power to resist. But when you are tempted, he will also give you the ability to endure the temptation as your way of escape.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Therefore, my dear friends, get as far away from the worship of false gods as you can. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>I'm talking to intelligent people. Judge for yourselves what I'm saying. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>When we bless the cup of blessing aren't we sharing in the blood of Christ? When we break the bread aren't we sharing in the body of Christ? <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Because there is one loaf, we are one body, although we are many individuals. All of us share one loaf. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Look at the people of Israel from a human point of view. Don't those who eat the sacrifices share what is on the altar? <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Do I mean that an offering made to a false god is anything, or that a false god itself is anything? <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Hardly! What I am saying is that these sacrifices which people make are made to demons and not to God. I don't want you to be partners with demons. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons. You cannot participate at the table of the Lord and at the table of demons. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Are we trying to make the Lord jealous?

Why should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience? <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>If I give thanks to God for the food I eat, why am I condemned for that?</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything to the glory of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Don't cause others to stumble, whether they are Jewish, Greek, or members of God's church. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_corinthians/10-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>I try to please everyone in every way.
