5 But God was not pleased with the majority of them, for they were struck down in the desert.
6 Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we should not be desirers of evil things, just as those also desired them,
7 and not become idolaters, as some of them did, just as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play,”
8 nor commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed sexual immorality, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day,
9 nor put Christ to the test, as some of them tested him, and were destroyed by snakes,
10 nor grumble, just as some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11 Now these things happened to those people as an example, but are written for our instruction, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
