The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter 10:9, 12-13

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted him, and were destroyed of serpents.
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.

Verses 12-13: Romans 11:30; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Psalm 125:3

Neither let us tempt Christ, by our unbelief. The common translation runs, Let him that thinketh he standeth; but the word translated thinketh, most certainly strengthens, rather than weakens, the sense. Common to man - Or, as the Greek word imports, proportioned to human strength. God is faithful - In giving the help which he hath promised. And he will with the temptation - Provide for your deliverance.” - John Wesley
