1 Corinthians 3:13

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:

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

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.

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
