  1 Corinthians 10:12 In-Context

  10 And do not grumble, as some of them did-and were killed by the destroying angel.

  11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.

  12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

  13 No temptationThe Greek for "temptation" and "tempted" can also mean "testing" and "tested" . has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be temptedThe Greek for "temptation" and "tempted" can also mean "testing" and "tested" . beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,The Greek for "temptation" and "tempted" can also mean "testing" and "tested" . he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

  14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry.

They claimed that the needed expertise and skill sets simply weren’t there,” Hanlon writes, In my three decades of experience in developing nations with Compassion International, I have witnessed the opposite. In the midst...

Eventually with great efforts, including terror, high economic indicators were reached,” the Patriarch said explaining further collapse of the USSR with the fact that the “backbone of national life was destroyed” in years of revolution. “Today our life is worse not because we are Orthodox, but because we...
