6Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.
7Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.
8Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.
9And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.
10And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.
11Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.
12So let him who seems to himself to be safe go in fear of a fall.
