Trial » The lord trying
I will bring the third part into the fire. I will refine them, as silver is refined, and I will test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say: 'It is my people!' They will say: 'Jehovah is my God!'
The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold but Jehovah proves the heart.
The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately corrupt. Who can understand it? I, Jehovah, search the heart and examine the mind (inner man). I give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds.
I well know, O my God, that you test everyone's heart and are pleased with people of integrity. In honesty and sincerity I have willingly given all this to you. I have seen how your people who are gathered here have been happy to bring offerings to you.
Examine me, O Jehovah, and test me. Look closely (deeply) into my heart and mind.
Let the evil of the wicked come to an end. Establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God.
Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah's throne is in heaven. His eyes see. They examine the sons of men. Jehovah tests (examines) righteous and wicked people alike. He hates wicked people and the ones who love violence.
Trial » What shall be tried
every man's work will be made known, for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will prove what sort every man's work is. If a man's work that he built upon lasts, he will receive a reward. If a man's work will be burned, he will suffer loss: but he will be saved by fire.
To the angel of the congregation in Philadelphia write: He says these things. He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no man shuts, and shuts and no man opens. I know your works (deeds) (acts). Pay attention, I set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name. I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, for they lie; I will make them come and bow down before your feet. They will know that I have loved you. read more.
Because you have kept the word of my patience (endurance), I also will keep you from the hour of testing. This will come upon the whole world to test (scrutinize) (discipline) (examine) those who dwell on the earth.

Trial » What is tried
Your way is perfect Jehovah. Your word is correct. You are a shield for those who run to you for help.
God's way is perfect! The word of Jehovah has proven to be true. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
The words of Jehovah are pure, like silver refined in a furnace on the earth and purified seven times.
Trial » What to try
Beloved, do not believe every spirit. Test the spirits to see whether they are from God. This is because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Here is how you know the Spirit of God, every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is from God. Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that you heard was coming and now it is already in the world.
What protest may a living man make? Can a man protest about the punishment for his sin? Let us search and put our ways to the test. Let us turn again to Jehovah.
Trial » The right of
Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to find out what he has done?
Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly uncondemned, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison. Do they now throw us out privately? No I say, but let them come in person to bring us out. The officers reported these words to the magistrates. They feared when they heard that they were Romans. They personally came to them and brought them out. They asked them to go away from the city.
When they tied him up to be whipped Paul said to the officer standing there, Is it lawful for you to whip a Roman citizen who has not been tried for a crime? When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and asked him: What are you doing? That man is a Roman citizen! The commander went to Paul and asked him: Tell me, are you a Roman citizen? Yes, answered Paul. read more.
The commander said: I became one by paying a large amount of money. I am one by birth, Paul answered. At once the men who were going to question Paul drew back from him. The commander was frightened when he found out that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had put him in chains. The commander wanted to find out for sure what the Jews were accusing Paul of. The next day he had Paul's chains taken off and ordered the chief priests and the whole Council to meet. Then he took Paul and made him stand before them.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials. Know that the testing of your faith produces patience (endurance).
You greatly rejoice in this, though you have been grieved with various trials for a little while. The proof of your faith is more precious than gold that perishes. Though it is tested by fire, it may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. You love him without seeing him. Though you do not see him, you believe in him. Full of glory, you rejoice greatly with indescribable joy. read more.

A man, whose mother was Shelomith (daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan in Israel) and whose father was from Egypt, got into a quarrel with an Israelite in the camp.

Jehovah spoke to Moses: The man who cursed my name must be taken outside the camp. All who heard him curse my name must lay their hands on his head. Then the whole congregation must stone him to death.
