1 Corinthians 10:6-13

Tree of Life Version

⁶ Now these things happened as examples for us, so we wouldn’t crave evil things, just as they did. ^{[a] 7} Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” ^{[b] 8} And let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day 23,000 fell. ^{[c] 9} And let’s not test the Lord, as some of them did—and were destroyed by serpents. ^{[d] 10} And let’s not grumble, as some of them did—and were destroyed by the destroying angel. ^{[e] 11} Now these things happened to them as an example, and it was written down as a warning to us—on whom the ends of the ages have come. ¹² Therefore let the one who thinks that he stands watch out that he doesn’t fall. ¹³ No temptation has taken hold of you except what is common to mankind. But God is faithful—He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can handle. But with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so you will be able to endure it.
