5. For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our
fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the
sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the
sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the
same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock
that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless,
with most of them God was not pleased, for they were

to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by
serpents, nor grumble, as some of them did and were

13. destroyed by the Destroyer. Now these things happened to
them as an example, but they were written down for our
instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.

14. If you lose your WHY you will lose your WAY.

15. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed
lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not

tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he
will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able
to endure it.
– vv. 12-13
