Proved

The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.

Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.

O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.

For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.

And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.

But by whom may the day of his coming be faced? and who may keep his place when he is seen? for he is like the metal-tester's fire and the cleaner's soap.

For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

Shalt

If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.

Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.

Never will my hand be stretched out against the man marked with the holy oil; but take the spear which is by his head and the vessel of water, and let us go.

For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.

I am

I said, I will give attention to my ways, so that my tongue may do no wrong; I will keep my mouth under control, while the sinner is before me.

I have made an oath and kept it, to be guided by your upright decisions.

He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.

Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:

For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.

Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.
