1 Corinthians 10:6-14

6These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,

7or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.”

8And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day.

9Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites.

10And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death.

11These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age.

12If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.

13The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

14So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols.
