1 Corinthians 10:13
1 Corinthians 10:1-14 is a warning
not to follow what the Hebrew people did in the wilderness. Also, they had all
the Scriptures telling them about the coming MESSIAH and what He was going to
do; but they missed Him because what they wanted was to be delivered, not from
sin and death, but from Roman rule! Many Christians are doing the same thing
today; they do not want to do the hard road of repentance and persecution; they
what the wide road of the Good Life and The Rapture (Matthew 7:13-14)!
1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation
has overtaken you except what is common to man; but ELOHIM is Faithful, Who
Will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the
temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be
able to bear it*.”
In the KJV and NIV it says, “a
way”, in the NKJV, CJB and The Scriptures it says, “the way”. This can confuse
people the difference between “a way” and “the way” is pretty big. A way can be
anything, the way implies there is only one way; but that difference is negated
because every temptation and the person under the temptation is different and
there is a specific way that ELOHIM makes for them to bear or escape or stand
up under it. That is the key thought in this passage, ELOHIM Will not allow us
to be tempted beyond what we are able to handle so that we can endure to the
end (one of YESHUA’s favorite sayings; “To he who overcomes…”). It’s not about
us escaping the temptation it is about us overcoming the temptation!
* NKJV has a note saying, “that
you may be able to endure it.”; CJB says, “…so that you will be able to endure.”
