Bible Question:
What does "able to bear" mean? |
Bible Answer: Greetings rsfehrman, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Could you possibly be referring to 1 Corinthians 10:13 ? 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) 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. Take a look at how the NASB translation is worded 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NASB) 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. If this is the passage of scripture you are referring to when trying to understand what is meant by "able to bear" then perhaps the NASB translation will help. We can say it means to endure the temptation or in other words, not give into the temptation and sin. Does this help? Steve |
