'For since, when the strength is proved, it convinces
the foolish, they perceiving the cleansing and the advantage resulting
from the divine fire, were not discouraged in trials like these, but
they rather delighted in them, suffering no injury at all from the
things which happened, but being seen to shine more brightly, like gold
from the fire, as he said, who was tried in such a school of discipline
as this; 'You have tried my heart, You have visited me in the
night-season; You have proved me, and hast not found iniquity in me, so
that my mouth shall not speak of the works of men.' But those whose
actions are not restrained by law, who know of nothing beyond eating and
drinking and dying, account trials as danger. They soon stumble at
them, so that, being untried in the faith, they are given over to a
reprobate mind, and do those things which are not seemly. (Romans 1:28)'
