Bible verses for children
Look for help resisting a wrong choice.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

What does this verse mean?
Temptation is a pull towards wrongdoing. Paul points to God’s faithfulness and a way to resist. This verse is not saying every trauma or burden is something a person can handle alone.
Leave a situation pressuring you to cheat and ask a trustworthy person for support.
