'Proving' in the Bible

But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

seeing that through the proving of you by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution unto them and unto all;

proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;

Where your fathers tried me by proving me, And saw my works forty years.

Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.
