First Epistle to the Corinthians

Let us therefore ask for forgiveness for all those transgressions we have committed through any suggestion of the adversary. And those who have been leaders of rebellion and disagreement should have respect for the common hope. For those who live in fear and love would rather endure suffering themselves than have their neighbors endure it. They prefer to take the blame themselves, rather than let the concord, which has been well and piously handed down to us, suffer. For it is better for a person to acknowledge their transgressions than to harden their heart, like those who stirred up rebellion against Moses, the servant of God, and whose condemnation was evident to all. For they went down alive into Hades, and death swallowed them up. Pharaoh, with his army and all the princes of Egypt, and the chariots with their riders, were sunk in the depths of the Red Sea and perished, for no other reason than that their foolish hearts were hardened after so many signs and wonders had been performed in the land of Egypt by Moses, the servant of God.
