Augustine of Hippo, on 1Cor 10:13

“Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.”

“Why is this written if we are now so endowed that by the strength of our free will we are able to overcome all temptations merely by bearing them?”
