'Trials' in the Bible

You however have remained with me amid my trials;

serving the Lord in all humility, and with tears, and amid trials which came upon me through the plotting of the Jews--

that none of you might be unnerved by your present trials: for you yourselves know that they are our appointed lot.

Reckon it nothing but joy, my brethren, whenever you find yourselves hedged in by various trials.

Blessed is he who patiently endures trials; for when he has stood the test, he will gain the victor's crown--even the crown of Life--which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Rejoice triumphantly in the prospect of this, even if now, for a short time, you are compelled to sorrow amid various trials.
