1 Corinthians 10:5-14
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did.
7Do 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."
8We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.
9We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents,
10nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.
11Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.
12Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.
13No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
