'Examine' in the Bible

You examine the Scriptures carefully because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about me.

Paul said, "But I was born a citizen." Immediately those who were about to examine him stepped back, and the tribune was afraid when he found out that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had tied him up.

He answered, "The Jewish leaders have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the Council tomorrow as though they were going to examine his case more carefully.

This is my defense to those who would examine me:

A person must examine himself and then eat the bread and drink from the cup,

Each person must examine his own actions, and then he can boast about his own accomplishments and not about someone else.
