1 Corinthians 10:13
(the Great Bible)
Ther hath none other temptacyon taken you, but soche as foloweth the nature of man. But God is faythfull whych shall not suffer you to be tempted aboue youre strength: but shall in the myddes of the temptacyon make awaye, that ye maye be able to beare it.

translation:

There has no other temptation taken you, but such as follows the nature of man. But God is faithful which will not suffer you to be tempted above your strength: but will in the midst of the temptation make a way that you may be able to bear it.

summary:

Warnings from Israel’s History
Paul warns the Corinthians not to crave evil as the Israelites did. He reminds them about the punishments God imposed on the Israelites due to their idolatry, sexual immorality, testing of God, and grumbling. He then assures them that God is faithful and will not let them be tempted beyond what they can bear.

Temptation and God’s Faithfulness
Paul reassures believers that no temptation is unique and that God is faithful, providing a way out so that we can endure it.

Reflect on Past Mistakes
Regularly examine your life for areas where you might be repeating the mistakes of the past, and seek God’s guidance to overcome them.

Guard Against Idolatry
Identify modern forms of idolatry in your life, such as materialism or excessive devotion to entertainment, and take steps to prioritize God above all else.

Rely on God’s Faithfulness
In times of temptation, remember God’s promise to provide a way out and actively seek His strength to resist.

Live for God’s Glory
Make a conscious effort to ensure that your actions, words, and decisions reflect God’s glory and love to those around you.

context:

1 Corinthians 10: 6-13
(1599 Geneva Bible)
6 Now these things are our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
Neither be ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted him, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things came unto them for examples, and were written to admonish us, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you, but such as appertaineth to man: and God is faithful, which will not suffer you to be tempted above that you be able, but will even give the issue with the temptation, that ye may be able to bear it.

hope you have a great day!

Illegals vs. the Deserving American Poor: American Thinker …”Is there a greater insult a country could send to its citizens than this? You or your kin gave blood and sometimes lives for this country, but when in need, the sacrifice is ignored and non-citizen criminals — they broke the law coming here and they break it every day they remain — are placed ahead of you. Every dollar spent on them is a dollar not spent on citizens. This is a cold, hard fact. This is called opportunity cost.
