1 Corinthians 10:6-10
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Now these things happened as (A)examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as (B)they also craved.
7 Do not be (C)idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “(D)The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to (E)play.” 8 Nor let us act in sexual immorality, as (F)some of them [a]did, and (G)twenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9 Nor let us put Christ to the test, as (H)some of them [b]did, and were destroyed by the serpents. 10 Nor (I)grumble, as some of them [c]did, and (J)were destroyed by the (K)destroyer.

1 Corinthians 10:6-10
New Living Translation
6 These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did, 7 or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.”[a] 8 And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day.
9 Nor should we put Christ[b] to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites. 10 And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death.
