6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as athey also lusted.
7 aAnd do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, b“The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
8 aNor let us commit sexual immorality, as bsome of them did, and cin one day twenty-three thousand fell;
9 nor let us1 tempt Christ, as asome of them also tempted, and bwere destroyed by serpents;
10 nor complain, as asome of them also complained, and bwere destroyed by cthe destroyer.
11 Now1 all these things happened to them as examples, and athey were written for our admonition, bupon whom the ends of the ages have come.
12 Therefore alet him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
