Proved

The LORDtests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.

Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind.

For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.

O LORD, you have searched me and known me!

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.

And I will put this third into the fire, and refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call upon my name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'They are my people'; and they will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"

But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap.

For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me.

so that the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Shalt

if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,

All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.

Behold, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave. And some told me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, 'I will not put out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'

The LORD forbid that I should put out my hand against the LORD's anointed. But take now the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let us go."

For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.

I am

I said, "I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence."

I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules.

Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose,

For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.
