1 Peter 1:7

The trial of your faith] RV 'The proof of your faith.' St. Peter means it is worth while to purify even perishable gold, much more your faith (cp. Job 23:10; Psalms 66:10; Proverbs 17:3; Zechariah 13:9, and especially Isaiah 48:10; Sir 2:5); but he expresses it a little inaccurately, as though the proof, not the thing proved, were precious: cp. James 1:2. It is St. Peter's habit to speak somewhat scornfully of gold: cp. 1 Peter 1:18; 1 Peter 3:3; 1 Peter 5:2; Acts 3:6.

Which be disobedient] RV 'disbelieve.'
