1 Peter 1:7
1:7 Such trials show the proven character of your faith,
which is much more valuable than gold – gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away
– and will bring praise
and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Psalms 119:75
119:75 I know, Lord, that your regulations are just.
You disciplined me because of your faithful devotion to me.
Lamentations 3:32-33
3:32 Though he causes us grief, he then has compassion on us
according to the abundance of his loyal kindness.
3:33 For he is not predisposed to afflict
or to grieve people.
Hebrews 12:7-11
12:7 Endure your suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?
12:8 But if you do not experience discipline, something all sons have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons.
12:9 Besides, we have experienced discipline from our earthly fathers and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?
12:10 For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.
12:11 Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.
