Everything you do, whether good or bad, will be tested by fire, look at these verses in 1 Corinthians 3:
你所做的一切,无论是好是坏,都将经受火的试炼,看看哥林多前书3章的这些经文:
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11 因为那已经立好的根基就是耶稣基督,此外没有人能立别的根基。
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
12 若有人用金、银、宝石、草木、禾秸在这根基上建造,
13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
13 各人的工程必然显露,因为那日子要将它表明出来,有火发现;这火要试验各人的工程怎样。
14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
14人在那根基上所建造的工程若存得住,他就要得赏赐。
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
15人的工程若被烧了,他就要受亏损,自己却要得救;虽然得救,乃像从火里经过的一样。
