Question
where in the Bible does it say sell all that you have and buy gold that is tried by the fire?


Answer
Lois, I am not sure to which verse you refer.  However, 1 Peter 1:7 speaks of gold tested by fire in reference to faith.
I do not recall the exact phrasing that you seek.
If you would like for me to search further, please feel free to write again.
Sorry that I cannot be more helpful at this time.
Best wishes.
