As it is written, (C)“The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” (D)Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as (E)some of them did, and (F)in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us [a]tempt Christ, as (G)some of them also tempted, and (H)were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor complain, as (I)some of them also complained, and (J)were destroyed by (K)the destroyer.
