Compare all
11 Now1 all these things happened to them as examples, and athey were written for our admonition, bupon whom the ends of the ages have come.  
12 Therefore alet him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.  
13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but aGod is faithful, bwho will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to1 bear it.  

Flee from Idolatry

14 Therefore, my beloved, aflee from idolatry.  
15 I speak as to awise men; judge for yourselves what I say.  
16 aThe cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the1 communion of the blood of Christ? bThe bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

1 Corinthians 10:13

But such as is common to man - · Chrysostom has properly translated this word , , , ; that is, small, short, moderate. Your temptations or trials have been but trifling in comparison of those endured by the Israelites; they might have been easily resisted and overcome. Besides, God will not suffer you to be tried above the strength he gives you; but as the trial comes, he will provide you with sufficient strength to resist it; as the trial comes in, he will make your way out. The words are very remarkable, ͅ ͅ , "He will, with the temptation, make the deliverance, or way out." Satan is never permitted to block up our way, without the providence of God making a way through the wall. God ever makes a breach in his otherwise impregnable fortification. Should an upright soul get into difficulties and straits, he may rest assured that there is a way out, as there was a way in; and that the trial shall never be above the strength that God shall give him to bear it.
