The fining

that the genuineness of your faith--a thing far more precious than gold, which is perishable, yet has to be tested by fire--may win praise and glory and honour at the Appearing of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 4:12
Dear friends, do not be astonished at the fiery trials that you are passing through, to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
