1 Corinthians 10:7

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,"

1 Corinthians 10:7 In-Context

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,
