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