Do Not Follow Their Example

Now these things took place as our examples, so that we might not be desirers of evil things, as those also desired. And do not be idolaters, as some of them, as-indeed it has been written [in Ex 32:6], “The people sat-down to eat and drink, and stood up to play”. And let us not be committing-sexual-immorality, as some of them committed sexual immorality, and twenty three thousand fell in one day [Num 25:1-9]. And let us not be putting Christ to the test, as some of them tested, and were being destroyed by the serpents [Num 21:5-6]. 10 And do not be grumbling, like some of them grumbled, and perished by the destroyer [Num 16:41-49]. 11 Now these[a] things were happening to those ones as-an-example. And it was written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come[b].
