Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 1 Corinthians 10:5-12

5Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
6These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”
8We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
9We should not test Christ, as some of them did, and were killed by snakes.
10And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel.
11Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
12So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
— 1 Corinthians 10:5-12
