God Provides a Way Out of Temptation (1 Corinthians 10:12-13)
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 · Berean Standard Bible
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 reassures that no temptation is unique or unbeatable: 'God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape.' Every temptation is common to humanity, and God always makes an exit. It is the go-to promise for anyone asking how to stand firm when tempted.
12So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
