From the King James Version (KJV) - First

Philippians 2:14-16 KJV

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

¹⁵That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

¹⁶Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

1 Corinthians 10:5-6, 10 KJV

⁵But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁶Now these things were our examples …

¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

Now from the New International Version of the Bible (NIV)

Philippians 2:14-15 NIV

¹⁴Do everything without complaining or arguing,

¹⁵so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe

1 Corinthians 10:5-6, 10-11 NIV

⁵God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.

⁶Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did.

¹⁰And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.

¹¹These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
