Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
10:12-13 Paul gives the Corinthians a final warning against falling into sin (cp. Rom 11:20-22) and reminds them that God is faithful (see 1 Cor 1:9; cp. Deut 7:9; 1 Pet 4:19). God will not allow them to be tempted (or tested; cp. Jas 1:2-4) beyond their ability to endure, but will always provide a way out.
