Testing applied to faith · dominant
In James 1:3, the nominative singular neuter form occurs in the clause where the APB renders that the testing of faith produces perseverance. In 1 Peter 1:7, the same form is set alongside gold that is tested by fire, with the APB rendering the testing of faith as leading to praise, glory, and honor.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term in the phrase “testing of your faith.” That phrase indicates the clause-level presentation rather than a precise isolated rendering.
