It is often used in the context of testing metals to prove their purity. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to refer to the testing of individuals, doctrines, or spiritual truths to discern their authenticity and value.Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the process of testing metals was a common practice to ensure their purity and value. This concept was metaphorically extended to other areas of life, including moral and spiritual testing. The New Testament writers adopted this term to describe the process of discerning and approving what is good, true, and acceptable in the sight of God.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>Cognate: 1381 dokimázō (from <a href="/greek/1384.htm">1384</a> /dókimos, "approved") – properly, to try (test) to show something is acceptable (real, approved); put to the test to reveal what is good (genuine). <a href="/greek/1384.htm">See 1384</a> (dokimos).<a href="/greek/1381.htm">1381</a> /dokimázō ("to approve by testing") is done to demonstrate what is good, i.e. passes the necessary test. <a href="/greek/1381.htm">1381</a> (dokimázō) does not focus on disproving something (i.e. to show it is bad).<iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div>STRONGS NT 1381: δοκιμάζω δοκιμάζω; (future δοκιμάσω); 1 aorist ἐδοκίμασά; passive, (present δοκιμάζομαι); perfect δεδοκίμασμαι; (δόκιμος); the Sept. chiefly for בָּחַן; as in Greek writings from (Herodotus, Thucydides), Xenophon, and Plato onward, to try; 1. to test, examine, prove, scrutinize (to see whether a thing be genuine or not), as metals: χρυσίον διά πυρός (Isocrates, p. 240 d.
