So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;

1 Corinthians 10:13
You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

But be glad that you are given a part in the pains of Christ; so that at the revelation of his glory you may have great joy.

1 Peter 4:14
If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

Zechariah 13:9
And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.

And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

-----

Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.
