They had refused to take God's escape route. Notice what Paul says about temptation. Paul says to the Corinthian believers that temptation is common to man. In other words, temptation is a part of life. Temptation is not a unique experience to us.
Temptation is usual and common in our lives.
No one is immune from temptation. The Toilers of the Sea tells about a man thrusting his arm into a crevice in the sea to pull out a crab. His arm was immediately seized by something as strong as steel and cold as ice. The world's tentacles reach after us in almost every place and every day, seeking to pull us down and pull us away. This world pulls at my fleshly desires as well as each of you.
