1 Corinthians 10:3-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
3and they all ate the same spiritual food, 4and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. 5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased; for their dead bodies were spread out in the wilderness.
6Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they indeed craved them.
7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: 'THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND TO DRINK, AND ROSE UP TO PLAY.'
8Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.
9Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and were killed by the snakes.
10Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer.
King James Version
Chapter 10
3And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7Neither 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. 8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 10
3They all ate the same spiritual food, 4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ. 5Nevertheless God was not pleased with most of them, since they were struck down in the wilderness.
6Now these things took place as examples for us, so that we will not desire evil things as they did.
7Don’t become idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to party.
8Let us not commit sexual immorality as some of them did, and in a single day twenty-three thousand people died.
9Let us not test Christ as some of them did and were destroyed by snakes.
10And don’t complain as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer.
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
3All of them ate the same spiritual food, 4and all of them drank the same spiritual water. For they drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that rock was Christ. 5Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
6These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,
7or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, 'The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.'
8And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day.
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
3and all ate the same spiritual food, 4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. 5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did.
7Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play."
8We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.
9We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents,
10nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.
New International Version
Chapter 10
3They all ate the same spiritual food 4and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. 5Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
6Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on 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 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 grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.
New King James Version
Chapter 10
3all ate the same spiritual food, 4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
6Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
7And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
8Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell;
9nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;
10nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
