1 Corinthians 3.9, 12-13 – You are God’s cultivated land, God’s building…If anyone builds upon the foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, stubble…the fire itself will prove each one’s work, of what sort it is.
1 Peter 1.6-7 – You have been made sorrowful by various trials, so that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
