1 Corinthians 10:13
11 Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
12 So the one who thinks he is standing firm should be careful not to fall.
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
