7 Don’t worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people sat down to eat and drink and then got up to have a wild party.”
8 We should not commit sexual sins as some of them did. In one day 23,000 of them died because of their sin.
9 We should not test Christ as some of them did. Because of that, they were killed by snakes.
10 And don’t complain as some of them did. Because they complained, they were killed by the angel that destroys.
11 The things that happened to those people are examples. They were written to be warnings for us. We live in the time that all those past histories were pointing to.
12 So anyone who thinks they are standing strong should be careful that they don’t fall.
13 The only temptations that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it.
