1 Peter 1:6-9

6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,

7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,

9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Job 23:10

10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.

Psalms 66:10

10 For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.

Proverbs 17:3

3 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the LORD tests hearts.

Isaiah 48:10

10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.
