1 Corinthians 10:5–14

⁵But with many of them ^fGod was not well pleased: for ^gthey were overthrown in the wilderness. ⁶Now these things were our ^hexamples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as ⁱthey also lusted. ⁷Neither be ye ^kidolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, ^lThe people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. ⁸Neither let us ^mcommit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day ⁿthree and twenty thousand. ⁹Neither let us tempt Christ, as ^osome of them also tempted, and ^pwere destroyed of serpents. ¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as ^qsome of them also murmured, and ^rwere destroyed of ^sthe destroyer. ¹¹Now all these things happened unto them for ^hensamples: and ^tthey are written for our admonition, ^uupon whom the ends of the world are come. ¹²Wherefore ^xlet him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. ¹³There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but ^yGod is faithful, ^zwho will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a ^away to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. ¹⁴Wherefore, my dearly beloved, ^bflee from idolatry.
