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.

Consolation under temptation; it is such as is "common to man," or 'such as man can bear' by God's aid.

Faithful (Psalms 125:3; Isaiah 27:3; Isaiah 27:8; Revelation 3:10) - to His covenant with believers (1 Thessalonians 5:24) To be led into Faithful (Psalms 125:3; Isaiah 27:3; Isaiah 27:8; Revelation 3:10) - to His covenant with believers (1 Thessalonians 5:24). To be led into temptation is distinct from running into it, which would be 'tempting God' (1 Corinthians 10:9; Matthew 4:7).

Way to escape (Jeremiah 29:11; 2 Peter 2:9). The Greek is, 'the way of escape:' the appropriate way in each temptation; not immediate, but in due time, after patience has had her perfect work (James 1:2; James 1:12). He 'makes' the way of escape simultaneously "with the temptation" which He appoints. He permits the exigency, and provides the help.

To bear it, [ hupenengkein (G5297)] - to bear up under it. Not, he will take it away (2 Corinthians 12:7).
