1 CORINTHIANS 10:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;”
For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. — Paul invokes Israel's exodus history as warning. The nephelē (cloud) represents God's presence and guidance; the passing through the sea marks liberation. The identification 'our ancestors' (hoi pateres hēmōn) claims spiritual kinship: the Corinthians inherit Israel's covenant heritage. Ignorance of this history is spiritually dangerous.
