Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn.

1 Corinthians 10:6These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did.Exodus 12:38And a mixed multitude also went up with them, along with great droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.1 John 2:16For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.Psalms 106:14They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.Psalms 78:18They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.Psalms 78:18–20They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.Psalms 78:19They spoke against God, saying, “Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?Nehemiah 13:3As soon as the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel all of foreign descent.Leviticus 24:10–11Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.1 Corinthians 15:33Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”Romans 13:14Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.Revelation 18:14And they will say: “The fruit of your soul’s desire has departed from you; all your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be seen again.”Deuteronomy 9:7Remember this, and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness.
