The trial

Beloved ones do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, for it comes upon you like a test, as though some strange thing were happening to you.

But He knows the way I walk. He has tried me. I shall come forth as gold.

You have tested us, O God. You have refined us in the same way silver is refined.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold but Jehovah proves the heart.

I have been testing you for myself like silver. I have put you through the fire of trouble.

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Behold, I will refine them and assay them. What else can I do, because of the daughter of my people?

I will bring the third part into the fire. I will refine them, as silver is refined, and I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say: 'It is my people!' They will say: 'Jehovah is my God!'

He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. He will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver. Then they will offer to Jehovah offerings in righteousness.

Not only that, but we also rejoice in our tribulations knowing that tribulation produces endurance.

Know that the testing of your faith produces patience (endurance).

Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil (false accuser) (Devil) is about to throw you into prison, that you may be tested. You will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful even if you must die, and I will give you the crown of life.

Because you have kept the word of my patience (endurance), I also will keep you from the hour of testing. This will come upon the whole world to test (scrutinize) (discipline) (examine) those who dwell on the earth.

Precious

You came to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and precious with God.

How blessed is the man who finds wisdom. Happy is the man who gains understanding.

My fruit is better than gold, yes, better than fine gold. My yield is better than choice silver.

How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding instead of silver!

That

But God said to him: 'You fool this night you will give up your life. Then who will have all these things you accumulated?'

Peter said to him: Your money will perish with you, because you think that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

The day of Jehovah will come as a thief. The heavens will pass away with a great noise. The elements shall be dissolved with intense heat. And the earth and the works in it will be burned up (destroyed). (Joel 2:31) (Zephaniah 1:14)

They will say: 'Woe, woe to the great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

Might

Jehovah, the God of Israel says: 'I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me all the days of your life.' Now Jehovah says: Far be it from me. I will honor those who honor me. I will not regard those who think little of me.

His lord said: 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, so I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
