Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of [t]emptation/G3986 - peirasmos, which shall come upon 'all the world', to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. ■ Revelation 3:10-12, KJV, blueletterbible, interlinear tab

■ G3986 - peirasmos

an enticement to sin, temptation, whether arising from the desires or from the outward circumstances
