1 Corinthians 10:1-13

Here we get a small history lesson on the Old Testament. Paul reminds his readers about when the Israelites were lead by Moses in the desert. These things that happened to them were written down for our sakes. So that when we read about them, we can learn from their mistakes. God wasn't very much pleased with them as they disobeyed God from time to time. These things are warnings to us. In addition, there is much comfort in the words from Paul about temptation. These temptations aren't anything new and God is faithful in providing a way of escape.
