Luke 13: 1-9
At
that very time there were some present who told him about the Galileans whose
blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
He
asked them, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than
all other Galileans? No, I
tell you; but unless you repent, you will all
perish as they did. Or
those eighteen who were killed when the
them—do you think that they were worse offenders
than all the
others living in
Then
he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his
vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and
found none. So he
said to the gardener, ‘See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit
on this fig tree, and still I find none.
Cut it down! Why should it be
wasting the soil?’ He replied, ’Sir, let
it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on It. If it bears fruit next year,
well
and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”
1 Corinthians 10:1-13
I
do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors 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, God was not pleased with
most of them, and they were struck down in the
wilderness.
Now
these things occurred as examples for us, so that we might
not desire evil as they did. Do not become idolaters as some of
them did; as it is written, “The people sat down
to eat and drink,
and they rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual
immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three
thousand fell in
a single day. We
must not put Christ to the test, as some of them
did, and were destroyed by serpents. And do not complain as
some of them did and were destroyed by the
destroyer These
things happened to them to serve as an example, and
they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have
come. So
if you think you are standing, watch out that you do not
fall. No testing has
overtaken you that is not common to everyone.
God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength,
but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able
to endure it.
