1 Corinthians 10:7-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: 'THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND TO DRINK, AND ROSE UP TO PLAY.' 8Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and were killed by the snakes. 10Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer. 11Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 12Therefore let the one who thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall.King James Version
Chapter 10
7Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 11Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
7Don't become idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to party. 8Let us not commit sexual immorality as some of them did, and in a single day twenty-three thousand people died. 9Let us not test Christ as some of them did and were destroyed by snakes. 10And don't grumble as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer. 11These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12So, whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall.New Living Translation

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.English Standard Version
