It implies a trial that serves to reveal the true nature or quality of the subject being tested. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the testing of a believer's faith, which is intended to produce perseverance and spiritual maturity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of testing was common in various contexts, such as metallurgy, where metals were tested for purity and quality. This imagery is applied metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the spiritual testing of believers. Such trials were understood as opportunities for growth and refinement, much like the refining of precious metals.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1383</b> <i>dokímion</i> (a neuter noun) what is found <i>approved</i> (genuine) after testing, focusing on the inevitable <i>results</i> of this. <a href="/greek/1384.htm">See 1384</a> (<i>dokimos</i>) and <a href="/greek/1381.htm">1381</a> (<i>dokimázō</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1384.htm">dokimos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a testing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>proof (1), testing (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1383: δοκίμιον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δοκίμιον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">δοκιμιου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (dokimee]; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> equivalent to <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">δοκιμάζειν</span>, the proving: <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">πίστεως</span>, <a href="/interlinear/james/1-3.htm">James 1:3</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">that by which something is tried</span> or <span class="accented">proved, a test</span>: <span class="abbreviation">Dionysius Halicarnassus</span> ars rhet. 11; <span class="greek2">γλῶσσα</span> <span class="greek2">γεύσεως</span> <span class="greek2">δοκίμιον</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Longinus</span>, de sublima. 32, 5; <span class="greek2">δοκίμιον</span> <span class="greek2">δέ</span> <span class="greek2">στρατιωτῶν</span> <span class="greek2">κάματος</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodian</span>, 2, 10, 12 (6, Bekker edition); in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> of a crucible or furnace for smelting: <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/27-21.htm">Proverbs 27:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/11-7.htm">Psalm 11:7</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Psalms 12:7>). <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> equivalent to <span class="greek2">δοκιμή</span>, 2: <span class="greek2">ὑμῶν</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">πίστεως</span>, your proved faith, <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/1-7.htm">1 Peter 1:7</a>.
