1 Corinthians 10:5-12

5But God was not pleased with most of them, for they were cut down in the wilderness.

6These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did.

7So do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.”

8And let us not be immoral, as some of them were, and twenty-three thousand died in a single day.

9And let us not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by snakes.

10And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.

11These things happened to them as examples and were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

12So let the one who thinks he is standing be careful that he does not fall.
