⁵ Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord[1] at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.

⁵ I'm laying this out as clearly as I can, even though you once knew all this well enough and shouldn't need reminding. Here it is in brief: The Master saved a people out of the land of Egypt. Later he destroyed those who defected.

⁵ So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful.
