1 Corinthians 10:6
4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.
7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”
8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
