1 Corinthains 10:13

"No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; But with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13





I feel like I need to reflect with this blog on this verse. I know people need to hear this as much as possible also. So what is Paul saying in this verse. But we should look at who Paul is writing to.
a church in Corinth a group of early Christains. It was est. in the year 51 on Paul 2nd mission. After he est. it he looked after like a father to a child. It reavles much of early church life and Paul himself and his teachings.



1st lets look at it line by line

No trail has come to you but what is human.

This is saying very bluntly that what ever we sin is human and we are not the only ones who partake is such sin. So to go there lets just use the example of masturbation or lust in young men. I don't know one teenage boy sadly that hasn't struggled with this. Or one man that is not struggling with it. This also says Man women child is suppose to hold each other accountable. ( it might be a stretch but read between the lines).



God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength

This part I think is the meat of the verse the part we must pay the most attention to. Because how many times have you questioned weather God was helping you. I know I have, But you must pray pray pray for strength to conquer the sin. If its sexual pray to Mary and Joesph. They both were chaste especially pray to Joesph because he had a choice but he was Mary's most chaste spouse . Have him pray for your strength in this sin. Remember its not also ways sin though it could be anything that is adversity. But remeber God won't give you a trial you can't hadle so Pray to God for strenght.

Last part

But with the trail he will provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.

The last part is also very imporant beacause it tell you what else God will do. He will give you a way to get out of the trial and it's not always sin either maybe it is that your grandma that you are very close to died it's a trail in your life. And he will provide you ways to get out of mouring of that grandma. Weather it's music or a new video game or a sport. Even pray (cough...cough).
