The trial

Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,

For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.

For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

A refining pot is for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts is Jehovah.

Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee in a furnace of affliction.

Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I do because of the daughter of My people?

knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,

'Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.

Precious

to whom coming -- a living stone -- by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious,

O the happiness of a man who hath found wisdom, And of a man who bringeth forth understanding.

Better is my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.

To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

That

And that wealth hath been lost in an evil business, and he hath begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand!

Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.

And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

And Peter said unto him, 'Thy silver with thee -- may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;

your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten;

and it will come -- the day of the Lord -- as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls -- because in one hour so much riches were made waste!

Tried

For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.

For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the refining of silver.

A refining pot is for silver, and a furnace for gold, And the trier of hearts is Jehovah.

of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare it, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

Might

Therefore -- the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel -- I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.

how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?

if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.

to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

and to you who are troubled -- rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,

And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set you in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness,
