1 Corinthians 8-10

No temptation [test] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted [tested] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted [tested], he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

This assertion follows Paul's list of some things that tempted his ancestors, idolatry, for example, and sexual immorality. He is telling Corinthian Christians they aren't exempt from the kinds of tests and/or temptations the rest of humanity experiences, simply because humans are, after all, human. But Paul the Apostle is encouraging the Corinthian Christians, too. They share the same temptations and/or tests as the rest of humankind experiences, but they are endowed with spiritual resources with which to face and to bear temptations and/or tests. In the verse of scripture above he alludes to two reservoirs of help made available to the followers of Christ--God's faithfulness and God's providence.

One last note: This verse of scripture does not say God tempts or tests anyone (See James 1:13). What it does say is that God limits the testing and tempting the Corinthians encounter and that God gives a means for Corinthians to escape from every test and every temptation they meet.
