Contradiction with Proverbs 4:7
While 1 Corinthians 10:11 speaks of events as lessons for future generations, Proverbs 4:7 emphasizes wisdom as the principal thing, potentially suggesting that wisdom, rather than past events, should be the primary guide.
Proverbs 4:7: Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:9
This verse indicates that nothing is new under the sun, contrasting with 1 Corinthians 10:11 which implies new lessons can be learned from past events.

Isaiah 43:18: Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:34
Focuses on not worrying about tomorrow, contradicting the idea in 1 Corinthians 10:11 of using past events as lessons for future situations.
Matthew 6:34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.
Contradiction with Philippians 3:13
Advises forgetting what lies behind and straining forward, opposing the concept in 1 Corinthians 10:11 where the past serves as a warning.
Philippians 3:13: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
