- Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved.
- Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, "THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY."
- Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.
- Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.
- Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

- Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
- Neither 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.
- Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
- Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
- Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
