'Trials' in the Bible

The Lord said, “I have in fact seen the affliction (suffering, desolation) of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters (oppressors); for I know their pain and suffering.

Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the [branch of the] Red Sea [called the Gulf of Aqabah], to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient, because [of the challenges] of the journey.

Or has a god attempted to go and take a nation as his own out of another nation, by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, by great terrors, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

the great trials that you saw, the signs and wonders, the strong hand and outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you fear.

You saw with your own eyes the great trials and those great signs and wonders.

‘Should I lift my head up, You would hunt me like a lion;And again You would show Your marvelous power against me.

You are the ones who stood by Me in My trials.

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]

But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the market place [where trials were held],

serving the Lord with all humility, with tears, and with the trials that came to me through the plots of the Jews—

that none of you might be unnerved by your present trials: for you yourselves know that they are our appointed lot.

Just consider and meditate on Him who endured from sinners such bitter hostility against Himself [consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials,

A man who endures trials is blessed, because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

You rejoice in this, though now for a short time you have had to struggle in various trials

Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold -- gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away -- and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
