My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this , that the trying of your faith worketh patience
-James 1:2, 3
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
-James 4:7
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 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:
-1 Peter 1:6, 7
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
-1 Peter 4:12, 13
