1 Corinthians 10:5
1 Corinthians 10:5 American Standard Version (ASV)
Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
1 Corinthians 10:1-5 The Message (MSG)
Remember our history, friends, and be warned. All our ancestors were led by the providential Cloud and taken miraculously through the Sea. They went through the waters, in a baptism like ours, as Moses led them from enslaving death to salvation life. They all ate and drank identical food and drink, meals provided daily by God. They drank from the Rock, God’s fountain for them that stayed with them wherever they were. And the Rock was Christ. But just experiencing God’s wonder and grace didn’t seem to mean much—most of them were defeated by temptation during the hard times in the desert, and God was not pleased.
1 Corinthians 10:5 King James Version (KJV)
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
