Beloved, G27 think it not strange G3579 concerning G4012 the fiery G4451 trial which is to try G4314 G3986 you, as though some strange G3581 thing happened G4819 to you:

But he knows H3045 the way H1870 that I take: H5978 when he has tried H974 me, I shall come H3318 forth H3318 as gold. H2091

For you, O God, H430 have proved H974 us: you have tried H6884 us, as silver H3701 is tried. H6884

You have caused men H582 to ride H7392 over our heads; H7218 we went H935 through fire H784 and through water: H4325 but you brought H3318 us out into a wealthy H7310 place.

The fining H4715 pot H4715 is for silver, H3701 and the furnace H3564 for gold: H2091 but the LORD H3068 tries H974 the hearts. H3826

Behold, H2009 I have refined H6884 you, but not with silver; H3701 I have chosen H977 you in the furnace H3564 of affliction. H6040

Therefore H3651 thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 Behold, H2005 I will melt H6884 them, and try H974 them; for how H349 shall I do H6213 for the daughter H1323 of my people? H5971

And I will bring H935 the third H7992 part through the fire, H784 and will refine H6884 them as silver H3701 is refined, H6884 and will try H974 them as gold H2091 is tried: H974 they shall call H7121 on my name, H8034 and I will hear H6030 them: I will say, H559 It is my people: H5971 and they shall say, H559 The LORD H3068 is my God. H430

And he shall sit H3427 as a refiner H6884 and purifier H2891 of silver: H3701 and he shall purify H2891 the sons H1121 of Levi, H3878 and purge H2212 them as gold H2091 and silver, H3701 that they may offer H5066 to the LORD H3068 an offering H4503 in righteousness. H6666

And not only G3440 so, but we glory G2744 in tribulations G2347 also: G2532 knowing G1492 that tribulation G2347 works G2716 patience; G5281

And patience, G5281 experience; G1382 and experience, G1382 hope: G1680

Knowing G1097 this, that the trying G1383 of your G5216 faith G4102 works G2716 patience. G5281

But let patience G5281 have G2192 her perfect G5046 work, G2041 that you may be perfect G5046 and entire, G3648 wanting G3007 nothing. G3367

Blessed G3107 is the man G435 that endures G5278 temptation: G3986 for when he is tried, G1384 he shall receive G2983 the crown G4735 of life, G2222 which G3739 the Lord G2962 has promised G1861 to them that love G25 him.

Fear G5399 none G3367 of those G3588 things which G3739 you shall suffer: G3958 behold, G2400 the devil G1228 shall cast G906 some of you into G1519 prison, G5438 that you may be tried; G3985 and you shall have G2192 tribulation G2347 ten G1176 days: G2250 be you faithful G4103 to death, G2288 and I will give G1325 you a crown G4735 of life. G2222

Because G3754 you have kept G5083 the word G3056 of my patience, G5281 I also G2504 will keep G5083 you from the hour G5610 of temptation, G3986 which G3588 shall come G2064 on all G3650 the world, G3625 to try G3985 them that dwell G2730 on the earth. G1093

To whom G3739 coming, G4334 as to a living G2198 stone, G3037 disallowed G593 indeed G3303 of men, G444 but chosen G1588 of God, G2316 and precious, G1784

To you therefore G3767 which G3588 believe G4100 he is precious: G5092 but to them which be disobedient, G544 the stone G3037 which the builders G3618 disallowed, G593 the same G3778 is made G1096 the head G2776 of the corner, G1137

Happy H835 is the man H120 that finds H4672 wisdom, H2451 and the man H120 that gets H6329 understanding. H8394

She is more precious H3368 than rubies: H6443 and all H3605 the things you can desire H2656 are not to be compared H7737 to her.

My fruit H6529 is better H2896 than gold, H2742 yes, than fine gold; H6337 and my revenue H8393 than choice H977 silver. H3701

How H4100 much better H2896 is it to get H7069 wisdom H2451 than gold! H2742 and to get H7069 understanding H998 rather to be chosen H977 than silver! H3701

Simon G4613 Peter, G4074 a servant G1401 and an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 to them that have obtained G2975 like G2472 precious G2472 faith G4102 with us through G1722 the righteousness G1343 of God G2316 and our Savior G4990 Jesus G2424 Christ: G5547

Whereby G1223 G3739 are given G1433 to us exceeding great G3176 and precious G5093 promises: G1862 that by these G5130 you might be partakers G2844 of the divine G2304 nature, G5449 having escaped G668 the corruption G5356 that is in the world G2889 through G1722 lust. G1939

But those H1931 riches H6239 perish H6 by evil H7451 travail: H6045 and he begets H3205 a son, H1121 and there is nothing H3808 H3972 in his hand. H3027

Therefore H5921 H3651 my heart H3820 shall sound H1993 for Moab H4124 like pipes, H2485 and my heart H3820 shall sound H1993 like pipes H2485 for the men H582 of Kirheres: H7025 because H5921 H3651 the riches H3502 that he has gotten H6213 are perished. H6

But God G2316 said G2036 to him, You fool, G878 this G5026 night G3571 your soul G5590 shall be required G523 of you: then G1161 whose G5101 shall those things be, which G3739 you have provided? G2090

So G3779 is he that lays up treasure G2343 for himself, G1438 and is not rich G4147 toward G1519 God. G2316

Sell G4453 that you have, G5224 and give G1325 alms; G1654 provide G4160 yourselves G1438 bags G905 which wax G3822 not old, G3822 a treasure G2344 in the heavens G3772 that fails G413 not, where G3699 no G3756 thief G2812 approaches, G1448 neither G3761 moth G4597 corrupts. G1311

But Peter G4074 said G2036 to him, Your money G694 perish G1510 with you, because G3754 you have thought G3543 that the gift G1431 of God G2316 may be purchased G2932 with money. G5536

Your G5216 riches G4149 are corrupted, G4595 and your G5216 garments G2440 are moth-eaten. G4598

Your G5216 gold G5557 and silver G696 is corroded; G2728 and the rust G2447 of them shall be a witness G3142 against you, and shall eat G5315 your G5216 flesh G4561 as it were fire. G4442 You have G2192 heaped G2343 treasure G2343 together for the last G2078 days. G2250

But the day G2250 of the Lord G2962 will come G2240 as a thief G2812 in the night; G3571 in the which G3739 the heavens G3772 shall pass G3928 away with a great noise, G4500 and the elements G4747 shall melt G3089 with fervent heat, G2741 the earth G1093 also G2532 and the works G2041 that are therein G1722 G846 shall be burned G2618 up.

Looking G4328 for and hastening G4692 to the coming G3952 of the day G2250 of God, G2316 wherein G1223 G3757 the heavens G3772 being on fire G4448 shall be dissolved, G3089 and the elements G4747 shall melt G5080 with fervent heat? G2741

And saying, G3004 Alas, G3759 alas G3759 that great G3173 city, G4172 that was clothed G4016 in fine linen, G1039 and purple, G4210 and scarlet, G2847 and decked G5558 with gold, G5557 and precious G5093 stones, G3037 and pearls! G3135

For in one G3391 hour G5610 so G5118 great G5118 riches G4149 is come G2049 to nothing. G2049 And every G3956 shipmaster, G2942 and all G3956 the company G3658 in ships, G4143 and sailors, G3492 and as many G3745 as trade G2038 by sea, G2281 stood G2476 afar G3113 off, G575

Beloved, G27 think it not strange G3579 concerning G4012 the fiery G4451 trial which is to try G4314 G3986 you, as though some strange G3581 thing happened G4819 to you:

But he knows H3045 the way H1870 that I take: H5978 when he has tried H974 me, I shall come H3318 forth H3318 as gold. H2091

For you, O God, H430 have proved H974 us: you have tried H6884 us, as silver H3701 is tried. H6884

The fining H4715 pot H4715 is for silver, H3701 and the furnace H3564 for gold: H2091 but the LORD H3068 tries H974 the hearts. H3826

Behold, H2009 I have refined H6884 you, but not with silver; H3701 I have chosen H977 you in the furnace H3564 of affliction. H6040

And I will bring H935 the third H7992 part through the fire, H784 and will refine H6884 them as silver H3701 is refined, H6884 and will try H974 them as gold H2091 is tried: H974 they shall call H7121 on my name, H8034 and I will hear H6030 them: I will say, H559 It is my people: H5971 and they shall say, H559 The LORD H3068 is my God. H430

Every G1538 man's work G2041 shall be made G1096 manifest: G5318 for the day G2250 shall declare G1213 it, because G3754 it shall be revealed G601 by fire; G4442 and the fire G4442 shall try G1381 every G1538 man's work G2041 of what G3697 sort G3697 it is.

I counsel G4823 you to buy G59 of me gold G5553 tried G4448 in the fire, G4442 that you may be rich; G4147 and white G3022 raiment, G2440 that you may be clothed, G4016 and that the shame G152 of your nakedness G1132 do not appear; G5319 and anoint G1472 your G4675 eyes G3788 with eye salve, G2854 that you may see. G991

Why H3651 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 said, H5002 I said H559 indeed that your house, H1004 and the house H1004 of your father, H1 should walk H1980 before H6440 me for ever: H5769 but now H6258 the LORD H3068 said, H5002 Be it far H2486 from me; for them that honor H3513 me I will honor, H3513 and they that despise H959 me shall be lightly H7043 esteemed. H7043

And Jesus G2424 said G2036 to them, Truly G281 I say G3004 to you, That you which G3588 have followed G190 me, in the regeneration G3824 when G3752 the Son G5207 of man G444 shall sit G2523 in the throne G2362 of his glory, G1391 you also G2532 shall sit G2523 on twelve G1427 thrones, G2362 judging G2919 the twelve G1427 tribes G5443 of Israel. G2474

His lord G2962 said G5346 to him, Well G2095 done, you good G18 and faithful G4103 servant: G1401 you have been G2258 faithful G4103 over G1909 a few G3641 things, I will make G2525 you ruler G2525 over G1909 many G4183 things: enter G1525 you into G1519 the joy G5479 of your lord. G2962

His lord G2962 said G5346 to him, Well G2095 done, good G18 and faithful G4103 servant; G1401 you have been G2258 faithful G4103 over G1909 a few G3641 things, I will make G2525 you ruler G2525 over G1909 many G4183 things: enter G1525 you into G1519 the joy G5479 of your lord. G2962

How G4459 can G1410 you believe, G4100 which receive G2983 honor G1391 one G240 of another, G240 and seek G2212 not the honor G1391 that comes from God G2316 only? G3441

If G1437 any G5100 man serve G1247 me, let him follow G190 me; and where G3699 I am, G1510 there G1563 shall also G2532 my servant G1249 be: if G1437 any G5100 man serve G1247 me, him will my Father G3962 honor. G5091

To them who by patient G5281 continuance G5281 in well G18 doing G2041 seek G2212 for glory G1391 and honor G5092 and immortality, G861 eternal G166 life: G2222

But he is a Jew, G2453 which is one inwardly; G1722 G2927 and circumcision G4061 is that of the heart, G2588 in the spirit, G4151 and not in the letter; G1121 whose G3739 praise G1868 is not of men, G444 but of God. G2316

Therefore G5620 judge G2919 nothing G3385 before G4253 the time, G2540 until G2193 the Lord G2962 come, G2064 who G3739 both G2532 will bring G5461 to light G5461 the hidden G2927 things of darkness, G4655 and will make G5319 manifest G5319 the counsels G1012 of the hearts: G2588 and then G5119 shall every G1538 man have G1096 praise G1868 of God. G2316

And to you who are troubled G2346 rest G425 with us, when G1722 G3739 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 shall be revealed G602 from heaven G3772 with his mighty G1411 angels, G32

Who G3748 shall be punished G1349 G5099 with everlasting G166 destruction G3639 from the presence G4383 of the Lord, G2962 and from the glory G1391 of his power; G2479

Why G1519 G3739 also G2532 we pray G4336 always G3842 for you, that our God G2316 would count G515 you worthy G515 of this G3588 calling, G2821 and fulfill G4137 all G3956 the good pleasure G2107 of his goodness, G19 and the work G2041 of faith G4102 with power: G1411

Now G1161 to him that is able G1410 to keep G5442 you from falling, G679 and to present G2476 you faultless G299 before G2714 the presence G2714 of his glory G1391 with exceeding joy, G20

Who G3588 are kept G5432 by the power G1411 of God G2316 through G1223 faith G4102 to salvation G4991 ready G2092 to be revealed G601 in the last G2078 time. G2540

Behold, G2400 he comes G2064 with clouds; G3507 and every G3956 eye G3788 shall see G3700 him, and they also which G3748 pierced G1574 him: and all G3956 kindreds G5443 of the earth G1093 shall wail G2875 because G1909 of him. Even G3483 so, G3483 Amen. G281
