- 1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV
[13] No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. 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 a way out so that you can endure it.

If for any reason you feel He has not provided it, it is your fault. For that implies you have not fully surrendered your concern unrlto the LORD God. Sometimes such is due to pride, the enemy of us all (Proverbs 16:18). Or it is because of the thing's repulsive nature, you do not want to tar God with that, which you see as too disgusting. Trust God and surrender, don't forget His omniscience!.1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV [13] No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.

"Test all things; hold fast what is good." — 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (NKJV)
What is The Passion Translation?
The Passion Translation (TPT), translated by Brian Simmons, is presented as a translation that seeks to convey the "heart" and passion of Scripture. Unlike formal-equivalence translations (such as the NKJV, NASB, or LSB), TPT frequently expands the biblical text with explanatory and devotional language.
These additions are often not represented by corresponding words in the underlying Hebrew or Greek.
---
A. Passages Commonly Omitted
TPT follows the modern critical Greek text in many places. Consequently, verses found in the Textus Receptus (and therefore the NKJV and KJV) are omitted or placed in footnotes.
Examples include:
- Matthew 17:21
- Matthew 18:11
- Matthew 23:14
- Mark 7:16
- Mark 9:44
- Mark 9:46
- Mark 11:26
- Mark 15:28
- Luke 17:36
- John 5:4
- Acts 8:37
- Acts 15:34
- Acts 24:7
- Acts 28:29
- Romans 16:24
- 1 John 5:7–8 (longer reading)
These omissions are shared by most modern translations using the critical Greek text and should not be regarded as unique to TPT.
---
B. Documented Interpretive Additions
Psalm 23:1
Hebrew:
«"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."»
TPT:
«"The Lord is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough."»
Added concepts:
- "my best friend"
- "always"
- expanded explanation of "I shall not want"
None appear as lexical equivalents in the Hebrew text.
---
Galatians 2:20
Greek:
«"I have been crucified with Christ..."»
TPT expands Paul's statement with additional language concerning identity, heavenly life, and empowerment not present in the Greek text.
---
John 3:3–8
Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus includes explanatory wording that goes beyond the Greek vocabulary.
---
Romans 8
Several verses include interpretive phrases intended to explain Paul's meaning rather than translate his exact wording.
---
Ephesians 1
Paul's prayer is expanded with devotional language not directly represented in the Greek.
---
Philippians 3
Additional explanatory phrases regarding knowing Christ and spiritual union appear beyond the source text.
---
Isaiah 53
Several verses contain interpretive wording absent from the Hebrew.
---
Psalm 91
Protective promises are expanded with devotional applications not found in the Hebrew.
---
Song of Songs
This book contains some of TPT's most extensive expansions. Numerous verses are significantly longer than the Hebrew text and include interpretive language without direct lexical counterparts.
---
Important Distinction
Every translation interprets.
However, there is a significant difference between:
- translating what the original languages say, and
- incorporating commentary directly into the biblical text.
Readers should distinguish between inspired Scripture and a translator's interpretation.
---
A Recommended Study Practice
When studying Scripture:
1. Read a faithful translation (NKJV, NASB, LSB, or similar).
2. Compare difficult passages with an interlinear Hebrew or Greek text.
3. Consult multiple translations before forming doctrine.
4. Treat devotional paraphrases as commentary rather than as primary textual evidence.

«"The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times."
Psalm 12:6 (NKJV)»
The aim is not to condemn a translation, but to encourage Berean discernment.
«"These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."

It teaches us to see people as objects rather than souls made in the image of God. It promises satisfaction, yet leaves us emptier than before. It offers secrecy, while quietly building chains.
Christ never calls us merely to resist outward sin—He calls us to purity of heart.
"I have made a covenant with my eyes." (Job 31:1)
"I will set nothing wicked before my eyes." (Psalm 101:3)
"Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:28)
These verses are not given to condemn those who struggle, but to awaken us to the holiness God desires for His people.
If you are fighting this battle, don't believe the lie that you are alone. Many have fallen, and by God's grace, many have been set free. The answer is not greater willpower, but greater surrender to Christ.
Guard your eyes.
Guard your mind.
Guard your heart.
Every temptation resisted is another opportunity to honour the One who bought you with His own blood.
Holiness is not the loss of pleasure—it is the freedom to enjoy what God intended without the slavery of sin.
"Flee sexual immorality... you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." (1 Corinthians 6:18–20, NKJV)

Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately left their nets and followed Him.And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
