The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

10:1MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

10:2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

10:3And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

10:4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

10:5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

10:6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

10:7Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

10:8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

10:9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10:10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

10:11Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
