Here is what Dave Bauscher's translation has ("The Original Aramaic New Testament in Plain English", Lulu Publishing 2009):
11. But all these things that occurred to them were for our example and it
was written for our admonition, for their end of the world has come
upon us. (I believe Paul was writing of the destruction of the nation of Israel. He was writing specifically to the Jewish
believers, according to verse 1. Even as the Israelites were destroyed in the wilderness of Sin, so the nation under Rome
would be destroyed because of sin. He was not speaking of the absolute end of the world for all people. )
