Part 5

1 Corinthians 10:13-14

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

“The prayer expresses a healthy distrust
of our own ability to resist temptation.”
