1 Corinthians 10:6

6 Now, all of this is an example for us, to warn us not to desire evil things, as they did, 1

1 Corinthians 10:6 In-Context

4 and drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from the spiritual rock that went with them; and that rock was Christ himself.
5 But even then God was not pleased with most of them, and so their dead bodies were scattered over the desert.
6 Now, all of this is an example for us, to warn us not to desire evil things, as they did,
7 nor to worship idols, as some of them did. As the scripture says, "The people sat down to a feast which turned into an orgy of drinking and sex."
8 We must not be guilty of sexual immorality, as some of them were - and in one day twenty-three thousand of them fell dead.
