3 They all ate the same spiritual food.
4 And they all drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from that spiritual rock that was with them. That rock was Christ.
5 But God was not pleased with most of them. They died in the desert.
6 And these things that happened are examples for us. They should stop us from wanting evil things as those people did.
7 Do not worship idols, as some of them did. It is written in the Scriptures: “The people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up and had wild parties.”
8 We should not take part in sexual sin, as some of them did. In one day 23,000 of them died because of their sins.
9 We should not test the Lord as some of them did. They were killed by snakes.
