1 Corinthians 10:1

¶ 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;

Moreover {G1161}, brethren {G80}, I would {G2309} not {G3756} that ye {G5209} should be ignorant {G50}, how that {G3754} all {G3956} our {G2257} fathers {G3962} were {G2258} under {G5259} the cloud {G3507}, and {G2532} all {G3956} passed {G1330} through {G1223} the sea {G2281};

For, brothers, I don’t want you to miss the significance of what happened to our fathers. All of them were guided by the pillar of cloud, and they all passed through the sea,

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.

For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
