This phrase emphasizes the universality of temptation, indicating that the struggles faced by the Corinthians are not unique. Throughout history, humanity has faced similar trials, as seen in the temptations of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3) and the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 16-17). The Greek word for "temptation" can also mean "testing," suggesting that these experiences are part of the human condition. This aligns with the biblical narrative that all have sinned (<a href="/romans/3-23.htm">Romans 3:23</a>) and that temptation is a common experience for all people.And God is faithful; The faithfulness of God is a central theme throughout Scripture, underscoring His unchanging nature and reliability. In the Old Testament, God's faithfulness is demonstrated in His covenant with Abraham (Genesis 15) and His steadfast love for Israel despite their rebellion (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-9.htm">Deuteronomy 7:9</a>). In the New Testament, this faithfulness is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who embodies God's promises (<a href="/2_corinthians/1-20.htm">2 Corinthians 1:20</a>). This assurance of God's faithfulness provides believers with confidence that He will support them through trials.He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. This promise assures believers that God, in His sovereignty, sets limits on the trials they face. The idea is that God knows each person's capacity and will not allow them to be overwhelmed. This is reminiscent of Job's story, where God permitted Satan to test Job but set boundaries on the extent of his suffering (<a href="/job/1-12.htm">Job 1:12, 2</a>:6). It reflects the belief that God is in control and that His grace is sufficient for any challenge (<a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>).But when you are tempted, The inevitability of temptation is acknowledged here, suggesting that it is not a matter of if but when. This aligns with Jesus' teachings, where He instructs His disciples to pray for deliverance from temptation (<a href="/matthew/6-13.htm">Matthew 6:13</a>). The presence of temptation is a reality in the Christian life, but it is also an opportunity for spiritual growth and reliance on God.He will also provide an escape, God's provision of an escape route highlights His active involvement in the believer's life. This escape is not necessarily the removal of the temptation but the ability to endure it without succumbing. The concept of escape can be seen in the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 14) and the protection of Daniel in the lion's den (Daniel 6). It underscores the idea that God provides a way out, often through His Word, prayer, and the support of the Christian community.so that you can stand up under it. The purpose of the escape is not merely to avoid temptation but to endure it and emerge stronger. This endurance is a recurring theme in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to persevere in faith (<a href="/james/1-2.htm">James 1:2-4</a>, <a href="/romans/5-3.htm">Romans 5:3-5</a>). The imagery of standing up under temptation suggests resilience and victory, echoing the triumph of Christ over sin and death (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-57.htm">1 Corinthians 15:57</a>).

From the warning and exhortation of the previous verse the Apostle passes on to words of encouragement, "You need not be hopeless or despairing." God permits the temptation by allowing the circumstances which create temptation to arise, but He takes care that no Fate bars the path of retreat. With each temptation he makes a way to escape from it. And that is so, must be so, because God is faithful. The state of salvation to which God has called us would be a delusion if there were an insuperable difficulty to our continuing in it. We have in this verse, perhaps, the most practical and therefore the clearest exposition to be found of the doctrine of free-will in relation to God's overruling power. God makes an open road, but then man himself must walk in it. God controls circumstances, but man uses them. That is where his responsibility lies.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 13. - But such as is common to man; rather, except such as is human; i.e. such as man can bear. The last verse was a warning; this is an encouragement. Having just heard what efforts even St. Paul had to make to run in the Christian race, and how terribly their fathers in the wilderness had failed to meet the requirements of God, they might be inclined to throw up every effort in despair. St. Paul, therefore, reminds them that these temptations were not superhuman, but were such as men had resisted, and such as they could resist. God is faithful He had called them (<a href="/1_corinthians/1-9.htm">1 Corinthians 1:9</a>), and since he knew "how to deliver the godly out of temptations" (<a href="/2_peter/2-9.htm">2 Peter 2:9</a>), he would surely perform his side of the covenant, and, if they did their parts, would stablish and keep them from evil (<a href="/2_thessalonians/3-3.htm">2 Thessalonians 3:3</a>). Also. The mode of deliverance shall be ready simultaneously with the temptation. Away to escape; rather, the way to escape. The way to escape is different in different temptations, but for each temptation God would provide the special means of escaping it. <a href="/commentaries/1_corinthians/10-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>No οὐκ (ouk) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_3756.htm">Strong's 3756: </a> No, not.
