Zec 13:9, Mal 3:2-3, Jam 1:13, 1Pe 1:7 | ESV | STEP | And I will put this third into the fire , and refine them as one refines silver , and test them as gold is tested . They will call upon my name , and I will answer them. I will say , They are my people ; and they will say , The Lord is my God .

Zechariah 13:9

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

Malachi 3:2-3

2 But ^ewho can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For ^fhe is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. 3 He will sit ^gas a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring ^hofferings in righteousness to the Lord. ^{▼▼Or and they will belong to the Lord, bringers of an offering in righteousness}

James 1:13

13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

1 Peter 1:7

7 so that ^jthe tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes ^kthough it is tested by ^lfire—may be found to result in ^mpraise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
