“11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
11 These things happened to them as examplesi and were written down as warnings for us,j on whom the culmination of the ages has come.k 12 So, if you think you are standing firm,l be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptationc has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;m he will not let you be temptedd beyond what you can bear.n But when you are tempted,e he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. “ (King James Version)
i ver 6
“11 These are all warning markers - danger! - in our history books, written down so that we don't repeat their mistakes. Our positions in the story are parallel - they at the beginning, we at the end - and we are just as capable of messing it up as they were.

12 Don't be so naive and self-confident. You're not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence; it's useless. Cultivate God-confidence.

Introduction
Introduction
The phrase, “Don’t Get It Twisted” is a 21st century idiom. The Urban Dictionary defines the phrase as “Don't get it wrong, don't be confused about it.” In other words, if it happened to the children of Israel, our ancestors, it can happen to you as Christians.
Paul is trying to give us further warning that there are “no guaranteed ends, but there is God’s guaranteed enablement if we heed His word.” (Central Idea of the Text/CIT)
When we leave today, my prayer is that we will leave encouraged, equipped, and enabled to overcome any obstacle, any test, or any temptation that comes our way for the rest of our lives! (Main Objective of Sermon/MOS)

Paul sums up by saying that these things are examples, recorded as warnings. The fulfilment of the ages is a curious expression (which many oversimplify, as jb, ‘at the end of the age’, or gnb, ‘when the end is about to come’). It appears to mean that the culmination of all past ages has arrived. The coming of Christ has decisive significance. All previous ages come to their appointed end in him. Those ages are now completed and the lessons they teach are open to us. We should then reap the fruits of the experience of those ages.

“Temptation is sometimes understood simply as ‘test’ ...But here it is used in a broad sense which includes both ‘test’ and ‘temptation’.
Temptation (see on v. 9) is sometimes understood simply as ‘test’ (gnb, Héring), a meaning it certainly has on occasion. But here it is used in a broad sense which includes both ‘test’ and ‘temptation’. Nothing exceptional in either way had happened to the Corinthians. They had experienced only what is common to man.
