'Examples' in the Bible

My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written as a warning to us, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
