1 Corinthians 10:5-12 (Epistle)
- 5
- But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
- 6
- Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
- 7
- And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
- 8
- Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell;
- 9
- nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;
- 10
- nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
- 11
- Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
- 12
- Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
