Proverbs 17:3
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

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:

Malachi 3:2
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Malachi 3:3
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Zechariah 13:9
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

Job 23:10
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
