1 Corinthians 10:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 But with many of them God was not pleased: for they were (A)overthrown in the wilderness.
6 [a]Now these things are our [b]examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things (B)as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, (C)The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

- 1 Corinthians 10:6 An amplifying of the example against them which are carried away with their lusts beyond the bounds which God has measured out. For this is the beginning of all evil, as of idolatry (which hath gluttony a companion unto it) fornication, rebelling against Christ, murmuring, and such like, which God punished most sharply in that old people, to the end that we which succeed them, and have a more full declaration of the will of God, might by that means take better heed.
- 1 Corinthians 10:6 Some read figures: which signified our sacraments: for circumcision was to the Jews a seal of righteousness, and to us a lively pattern of Baptism, and so in the other Sacraments.
1 Corinthians 10:5-7
New International Version
5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.(A)
6 Now these things occurred as examples(B) to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters,(C) as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”[a](D)
