The trial

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you:

But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

The fining-pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to the LORD an offering in righteousness.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Precious

To whom coming as to a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen by God, and precious,

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold? and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver?

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ:

That

But those riches perish by evil labor: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten have perished.

But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?

But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

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

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein will be burned up.

And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

Tried

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Every man's work will be made manifest: for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will try every man's work, of what sort it is.

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see.

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.

To them who by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, and honor, and immortality; eternal life:

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise from God.

And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
