James 1:2-4

Testing of Your Faith

2 aCount it all joy, my brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church; also verses 16, 19
when you meet trials cof various kinds,
3for you know that dthe testing of your faith eproduces steadfastness. 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be fperfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

James 1:12

12 gBlessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive hthe crown of life, iwhich God has promised to those who love him.

1 Peter 1:6-8

6In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by jvarious trials, 7so that kthe tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes lthough it is tested by mfire—may be found to result in npraise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 oThough you have not seen him, you love him. pThough you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,

Revelation of John 21:3

3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, qthe dwelling place
Or tabernacle
of God is with man. He will sdwell with them, and they will be his people,
Some manuscripts peoples
and God himself will be with them as their God.
Some manuscripts omit  as their God
