6 Now these things happened to warn us, so that we should not long for what is evil as they did.
7 You must not become idolaters, like some of them, for the Scripture says, "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to dance."
8 Let us not practice immorality, like some of them, twenty-three thousand of whom fell dead in one day,

11 These things happened to them as a warning to others, but they were written down to instruct us, in whose days the ages have reached their climax.
12 So the man who thinks he can stand must be on his guard against a fall.
