1 Corinthians 10:9

Compare all

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.

13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but ^aGod is faithful, ^bwho will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to¹ bear it.

Flee from Idolatry

14 Therefore, my beloved, ^aflee from idolatry.

15 I speak as to ^awise men; judge for yourselves what I say.
