'Tested' in the Bible

And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.

But everything can be tested by the light and thus be shown in its true colors; for whatever shines of itself is light.

But as God tested and approved us before entrusting us with His Good News, so in what we say we are seeking not to please men but to please God, who tests and approves our motives.

Others again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; yes, and by chains and imprisonment.
