You must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer, for the Lord your God will be testing you to see if you love him with all your mind and being.

"'For testing will come, and what will happen when the scepter, which the sword despises, is no more? declares the sovereign Lord.'

But Jesus realized their evil intentions and said, "Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?

But he saw through their hypocrisy and said to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it."

"Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness.

because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

Because you have kept my admonition to endure steadfastly, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come on the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
