1 Corinthians 10:6-14

6Now these things happened as 1examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as 2they indeed craved them. 7Do not be 3idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “4The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to 5play.” 8Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as 6some of them 7did, and 8twenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as 9some of them 10did, and were killed by the snakes. 10Nor 11grumble, as some of them 12did, and 13were killed by the 14destroyer. 11Now these things happened to them as an 15example, and 16they were written for our instruction, upon whom 17the ends of the ages have come. 12Therefore let the one who 18thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall. 13No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and 19God is faithful, 20so He will not allow you to be 21tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

14Therefore, my 22beloved, flee from 23idolatry.
