Now these things were for our example, that we might not desire evil things, as they desired.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, And were all baptized unto Moses, in the cloud and in the sea, And all ate the same spiritual meat,read more.
And all drank the same spiritual drink (for they drank out of the spiritual rock which followed them; and that rock was Christ) Yet, with the most of them, God was not well-pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were for our example, that we might not desire evil things, as they desired. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them for examples, and they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come. Therefore let him that standeth, take heed, lest he fall.
