26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, ^d“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the ^eMost High God, come out, and come here!” Then ^fShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. 27 And the ^gsatraps, the prefects, the governors, and ^hthe king’s counselors gathered together and saw that ⁱthe fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their ^jcloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them.

Zechariah 13:9

9 And ^kI will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
^lThey will call upon my name,
and ^mI will answer them.
ⁿI will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”

1 Corinthians 3:13-15

13 ^apeach one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed ^aqby fire, and ^arthe fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ^ashe will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, ^atbut only as through fire.
