10 Bible Verses about Proving, Through Testing

This it is that fills you with joy, notwithstanding the various tryals, which still necessarily afflict you, that your faith being put to a more advantageous proof, than that of gold, which loses by the essay, may redound to your praise and highest honour at the appearance of Jesus Christ:

Jesus then lifting up his eyes, and seeing a great company coming to him, said to Philip, where can we buy bread to feed this people? (this he said to prove Philip: for he himself knew what he had to do.)

Consider the various tryals that surround you, my brethren, as matter of great joy; knowing this, that the bringing your faith to the test, produces constancy.

neither let us provoke Christ as some of them provoked him, and were destroyed by serpents.

Wherefore as the holy spirit saith, "since to-day you hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as at Meriba and Massa in the desart: where your fathers provoked me to give proofs of my power forty years, tho' they saw my works.read more.
wherefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, they do alway err in their hearts; and they have not known my ways. so I swear in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest."

Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; bring yourselves to the proof; are you so little acquainted with yourselves, as not to know whether Jesus Christ be in you? but if you are destitute of proofs,

but let every one bring his own work to the test, and then he will have matter of glorying in himself alone, and not in another.

bring every thing to the test: if it be proof, abide by that:

of the prophets let but two or three speak by turns, and let the others deliberate.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. by this you may distinguish the spirit of God: "every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is from God. and every spirit that does not own that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not from God." this is that anti-christian spirit which you have heard was to come, and even now it appears in the world.
