The text reads hPENEGKEIN. Wigram's Analytical Lexicon refers back to
hUPOFERW, which Thayer's defines specifically with reference to 1 Cor.
10:13 as "to bear by being under, bear up (a thing placed on one's
shoulders), to bear patiently, to endure." Thayer also cites 2 Tim. 3:11
OIOUS DIWGMOUS hUPHNEGKA, KAI EK PANTWN ME ERRUSATO hO KURIOS "which
persecutions I endured, and the Lord delivered me." In this passage it is
clear that Paul both bore up under the persecution and was later
delivered after having endured. In light of this, I would understand 1
Cor. 10:13 to be expressing the encouragement that we are able to endure
(TOU DUNASTHAI hUPENEGKEIN) because we know the Lord will provide the way
out (THN EKBASIN).

I am inclined to receive Mr. Hutson's conclusion about the articular
infinitive in the genitive; however, Thayer cites "endure" as a workable
translation for hPENEGKEIN.
