Bible verses about "tests" | RKJNT

¹² Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial which comes upon you to test you, as though some strange thing was happened to you: ¹³ But rejoice, insofar as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be triumphantly joyful. ¹⁴ Blessed are you if you are insulted for the name of Christ; for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a meddler in other men's affairs. ¹⁶ Yet if any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God that he bears that name. ¹⁷ For the time has come for judgment, which must begin with the household of God: and if it begins with us, what shall the end be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if it is with difficulty that the righteous are saved, what shall become of the ungodly and the sinner? ¹⁹ Therefore, let those who suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to a faithful Creator by doing right.

¹⁶ Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

⁴ But just as we were approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

¹² Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial which comes upon you to test you, as though some strange thing was happened to you:

⁷ That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold, which perishes, though it is tested by fire, might be found to result in praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
