Notes from the passage:

“temptation” –

...now briefly, if need be, you are being distressed by various challenges that the testing of your faith, more precious than gold which perishes though being tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ 1 Peter 1

Notes from the passage:

temptation? Or trial?

12 Blessed is a person who perseveres in trial; for having been approved, they will receive the crown of life which has been promised to those who love God. 13 No one is to say when they are tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.  James 1

HE > us > i

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers and sisters, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. But we ourselves had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead, 10 Who rescued us from so great a death, in Whom we trust that He will yet deliver, 11 you also join in helping us through your prayers so that thanks may be given by many persons in our behalf for the gift to us through many. 2 Corinthians 1
