7. Aim of the "temptations." trial —testing, proving. That your faith so proved "may be found (aorist; once for all, as the result of its being proved on the judgment-day) unto (eventuating in) praise," c., namely, the praise to be bestowed by the Judge. than that of gold —rather, "than gold." though —"which perisheth, YET is tried with fire." If gold, though perishing ( :- ), is yet tried with fire in order to remove dross and test its genuineness, how much more does your faith, which shall never perish, need to pass through a fiery trial to remove whatever is defective, and to test its genuineness and full value? glory —"Honor" is not so strong as "glory." As "praise" is in words, so "honor" is in deeds: honorary reward. appearing —Translate as in 1 Peter 1:13 , "revelation." At Christ's revelation shall take place also the revelation of the sons of God ( Romans 8:19 , "manifestation," Greek, "revelation" Romans 8:19- : , Greek, "manifested . . . manifested," for "appear . . . appear"). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
