Avoid Israel’s Mistakes

1 For aI do not want° you to be unaware°, brethren°, 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 IChrist°. 5 Nevertheless°, with most° of them God° was not well-pleased°; for athey were laid° low° in the wilderness°.
