1 Corinthians 10:5-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.

⁶ Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.

⁷ Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

⁸ Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.

¹⁰ Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

¹¹ Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

¹² Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
