That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1 Peter 1:7
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
