Context of 1 Corinthians 10:13

11Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 12Therefore let the one who thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall. No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, so He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. 14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15I speak as to wise people; you then, judge what I say.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13There hath no temptation taken you - What temptation the apostle refers to here is not quite certain.
