Now these things happened as (A)examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as (B)they indeed craved them. Do not be (C)idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “(D)The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to (E)play.” Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as (F)some of them [a]did, and (G)twenty-three thousand fell in one day. Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as (H)some of them [b]did, and were killed by the snakes. 10 Nor (I)grumble, as some of them [c]did, and (J)were killed by the (K)destroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as an (L)example, and (M)they were written for our instruction, upon whom (N)the ends of the ages have come.
