1 Corinthians 10:12 Context
10Neither murmure ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 11Now all these things happened vnto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, vpon whom the ends of the world are come. 12Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall. 13There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man: but God is faithfull, who wil not suffer you to bee tempted aboue that you are able: but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may bee able to beare it. 14Wherefore my dearely beloued, flee from idolatrie.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Corinthians 10:12
10:12 The common translation runs, Let him that thinketh he standeth; but the word translated thinketh, most certainly strengthens, rather than weakens, the sense.
People's Bible Notes for 1 Corinthians 10:12
1Co 10:12 Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. Presumption is the greatest of all dangers. He who realizes his danger will be on his guard. See the case of Peter's fall, for an illustration. The safe way is, conscious of weakness, not to dally with temptation.
