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.

“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
