The literal Greek of that Passage is as follows:
1 Corinthians 10:13 Young's Literal Translation
13 No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].
God provides you a way out for your being able to bear the temptation. However, if God GUARANTEED that you would endure, then you would. But you don't, because every Christian, at some points during his life, will fall into temptation.
It's not saying that a Christian won't fall into temptation, it's saying that God will deliver you from it by giving to the power to be able to endure it.
