Trial and temptation vs hardship and affliction

[tonychanyt]

1 Corinthians 10:

13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Strong's 3985: To try, tempt, test. From peira; to test, i.e. Endeavor, scrutinize, entice, discipline.

New American Bible:

No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it.

For every trial and temptation, look to God. He will enable you to endure it.

On the other hand, Berean Standard Bible, 2 Corinthians 1:

8 We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the hardships we encountered in the province of Asia. We were under a burden far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life.

Strong's 2347: Persecution, affliction, distress, tribulation.

Some affliction is so heavy that you cannot endure it, and you wish to die, and it is not due to temptation. That's what happened to Paul and to Job.

9 Indeed, we felt we were under the sentence of death, in order that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God, who raises the dead.

Again, look to God. Don't look to yourself for a solution.

Not every hardship or affliction (G2347) happens to you is a trial or temptation (G3985). Sometimes, bad things happen to you, and you are not led to it by temptation, though you wish to die.
