1 Corinthians 10:13 There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful… Professor Wyville Thomson remarks that the fact that a shark "can bear without inconvenience the pressure of half a ton on the square inch is a sufficient proof that the pressure is applied under circumstances which prevent its affecting it to its prejudice; and there seems to be no reason why it should not tolerate equally well a pressure of one or two tons. At all events, it is a fact that the animals of all the invertebrate classes which abound at a depth of 2,000 fathoms do bear that extreme pressure, and that they do not seem to be affected by it in any way." We turn from the kingdom of nature to the kingdom of grace, and we say to every child of God in the depths of doubts and distresses, "God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able." Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
