NASB | 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word--He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]. |
Bible Question: Where do we as christians get the old saying " GOd will not give us anything we can not handle?" I hear that alot, but I want to know where it came from and if it is said in the right context. Please help. |
Bible Answer: Dear canham00, a verse like this is best read in context, as within the entire chapter, or at least the verse preceding and following. vs. 12 says,"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!" Here is what my favorite commentator Matthew Henry) says about that verse, "He who thinks he stands is not likely to keep his footing, if he fears no fall, nor guards against it. God has not promised to keep us from falling, if we do not look to ourselves: his protection supposes our own care and caution." And the following two verses (vss 14,15)read, "Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say." "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." (Mat 13:43) Welcome to this forum, Peace and blessings, Tim |
