Guest lovinghim4ever Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." God allows temptation in our lives, but He also makes a way for us to escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
