'Proof' in the Bible

"Again it is written," replied Jesus, "'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'"

Then came some of the Pharisees to Him to put Him to the proof by the question, "Has a man a right to divorce his wife whenever he chooses?"

"By what proof," asked Zechariah, "shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years."

The reply of Jesus was, "It is said, 'Thou shalt not put the Lord they God to the proof.'"

So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?"

since they exhibit proof that a knowledge of the conduct which the Law requires is engraven on their hearts, while their consciences also bear witness to the Law, and their thoughts, as if in mutual discussion, accuse them or perhaps maintain their innocence--

But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.

This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart.

It was because I entertained this confidence that I intended to visit you before going elsewhere--so that you might receive a twofold proof of God's favour--

And we send with them our brother, of whose zeal we have had frequent proof in many matters, and who is now more zealous than ever through the strong confidence which he has in you.

Exhibit therefore to the Churches a proof of your love, and a justification of our boasting to these brethren about you.

For, by the practical proof of it which you exhibit in this service, you cause God to be extolled for your fidelity to your professed adherence to the Good News of the Christ, and for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all who are in need,

since you want a practical proof of the fact that Christ speaks by my lips--He who is not feeble towards you, but powerful among you.

The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.
