1 Corinthians 10:5-12
New International Version
5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.(A)
6 Now these things occurred as examples(B) to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters,(C) as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”[a](D) 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.(E) 9 We should not test Christ,[b](F) as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.(G) 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did(H)—and were killed(I) by the destroying angel.(J)
11 These things happened to them as examples(K) and were written down as warnings for us,(L) on whom the culmination of the ages has come.(M) 12 So, if you think you are standing firm,(N) be careful that you don’t fall!
