1 Corinthians 10:13

I did not understand what it means to "make a way out" and "power to endure" means.  Because if God gives the power to endure temptation how is it "a way out" of it.

Are being able to endure something and getting out of something different?

No temptation has taken you except what is common to men.  But God is faithful and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in irder for you to endure it.  New World Translation

So I looked up Strong's text analyse.  And this is what I got:

temptation
you
not
has taken
if
not
what belongs to man
faithful
moreover
the
God
who
not
will
allow
you
to be tempted
above
what
you are able
but
will make
with
the
temptation
also
the
escape
that
to be able
you to bear

Does it mean sometimes the temptation will be unbearable but the escape is always bearable?
In other words if NO temptation should befall you that you are not able to bear then why is a way out needed?
And if God makes an escape for you and you do not take it, then what?
