3. All of them also ate the same spiritual food
4. and drank the same spiritual drink, which flowed from the spiritual rock that followed them. That rock was Christ.
5. But most of them did not please God. So they died, and their bodies were scattered all over the desert.
6. What happened to them is a warning to keep us from wanting to do the same evil things.
7. They worshipped idols, just as the Scriptures say, “The people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up to dance around.” So don't worship idols.
8. Some of those people did shameful things, and in a single day about twenty-three thousand of them died. Don't do shameful things as they did.
9. And don't try to test Christ, as some of them did and were later bitten by poisonous snakes.
28-29. But if you are told that it has been sacrificed to idols, don't cause a problem by eating it. I don't mean a problem for yourself, but for the one who told you. Why should my freedom be limited by someone else's conscience?
30. If I give thanks for what I eat, why should anyone accuse me of doing wrong?
31. When you eat or drink or do anything else, always do it to honour God.
