1 Corinthians 10:12

Warnings from Israel’s Past

11Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.12So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. 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 an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
