'Trials' in the Bible

“You are those who have remained and have 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 and with tears and trials which came on me because of the plots of the Jews [against me];

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 nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials.

In this you rejoice greatly, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,

then [in light of the fact that all this is true, be sure that] the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and how to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
