KJV ORIGINAL

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

The hard times that test your faith are way more valuable than gold — and gold gets destroyed when it's tested by fire. But when your faith makes it through those trials, you'll be found worthy of praise, honor, and glory when Jesus shows up.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Your faith getting tested is actually more precious than gold because it's building something that lasts forever.

Asa and his army chased the enemy all the way to Gerar. The Ethiopian army was completely defeated and couldn't recover from their losses, because they were destroyed by the LORD and his heavenly army. Asa's forces took a huge amount of valuable things from their enemies.
