1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. 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 a way out so that you can endure it. — The peirasmos (temptation) is koinē (common to humanity), not uniquely overwhelming. God's fidelity (pistos) establishes boundaries: temptation will not exceed capacity (dynamis = power, ability). God provides exodos (way out, escape) enabling endurance (hypomonē). This offer of divine support balances the warning of judgment.
