Every temptation. The Corinthians may have thought their temptations were unusually severe. To show they had no excuse for joining in the feasts in the idol's temple to escape persecution, Paul says this is only the kind of temptation that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise. Temptation does not come from God (James 1:12-15), but God limits it. Beyond your power to resist. "God will not allow anything to come your way that you and He together cannot overcome." With a way out. With each temptation comes a way to either bear it or escape it. "Every problem contains an opportunity, and every opportunity contains a problem." Compare note on Acts 28:16.
