First Epistle to the Corinthians

1 Corinthians 10:13 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the First Epistle to the Corinthians, written by the Apostle Paul. The verse reads: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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." This passage is often interpreted as a reassurance from Paul to the Corinthian church, emphasizing God's faithfulness and the believer's ability to resist temptation through divine assistance. The Hebrew translation of this verse is "אין ניסיון שבא עליכם חוץ ממה שבדרך האנושית. ואלוהים נאמן; הוא לא יתיר אתכם להינסה מעבר למה שאתם יכולים לסבול. אך כאשר אתם מנוסים, הוא יתן לכם דרך יציאה כדי שתוכלו לעמוד." In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, the verse is "Πεῖρασμὸς ὑμᾶς οὐκ εἴληφεν εἰ μὴ ἀνθρωπίνος. Πιστὸς δὲ ὁ Θεός, ὃς οὐκ ἐάσει ὑμᾶς πειρασθῆναι ὑπὲρ ὃ ἐξουσιάζετε, ἀλλὰ ποιήσει τὴν ἔξοδον μετὰ τοῦ ὑπενεγκεῖν." The Latin Vulgate translates it as "Nulla vos tentatio apprehendit nisi humana. Fidelis autem Deus, qui non patietur vos tentari supra id quod potestis, sed faciet cum temptatione et viam effugii ut possitis sustinere." Contextually, this verse is part of Paul's broader discussion on idolatry and the dangers of complacency in the face of temptation, urging believers to remain vigilant and reliant on God's strength.
