'Tries' in the Bible

“For the ear puts words to the testAs the palate tastes food.

The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,But the Lord tests hearts.

Every man’s way is right in his own eyes,But the Lord weighs and examines the hearts [of people and their motives].

Whoever seeks to save his life will [eventually] lose it [through death], and whoever loses his life [in this world] will keep it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God].

But the spiritual man [the spiritually mature Christian] judges all things [questions, examines and applies what the Holy Spirit reveals], yet is himself judged by no one [the unbeliever cannot judge and understand the believer’s spiritual nature].

For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, unjustly accusing us with wicked words and unjustified charges. And not satisfied with this, he refuses to receive the [missionary] brothers himself, and also forbids those who want to [welcome them] and puts them out of the church.
