1 Corinthians 10:7-11

New International Version

⁷ Do not be idolaters,^(A) as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”^{[a](B) 8} We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.^{(C) 9} We should not test Christ,^[b](D) as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.^{(E) 10} And do not grumble, as some of them did^(F)—and were killed^(G) by the destroying angel.^(H)

¹¹ These things happened to them as examples^(I) and were written down as warnings for us,^(J) on whom the culmination of the ages has come.^(K)
