'Trials' in the Bible

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,
