In times of trial, believers can find strength in God's promise to provide a way of escape. According to 1 Corinthians 10:13, no temptation is unique or beyond God's power to help us resist. By submitting to God and resisting the devil, as instructed in James 4:7, we can overcome even the most daunting temptations. The book of Hebrews reminds us that Jesus, our High Priest, was tempted in every way, yet remained sinless, and therefore is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, as seen in Hebrews 2:18 and 4:15. By walking in the Spirit, as Galatians 5:16 teaches, we can overcome temptation and live a life that honors God.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
