How do I use it in a sentence. Can I say 'through many trials and tribulations I have never given up'?

This is a phrase I heard semi-frequently in Mormon culture, but I imagine many Christian religions have it as part of their vernacular. It usually asserts the belief that god is testing you. It refers to you experiencing difficulties and hard times. Oftentimes, it is used to refer to hard times of the past that have been overcome or to give hope to someone experiencing hard times. That sentence sounds correct although it would probably be more common to say something like "It's important to remain ethical when going through trials and tribulations."

Yes, you can use this phrase in that manner. "Trials and tribulations" mean that you (or the person you refer to) have gone through, and passed out of a negative experience (and usually it infers that you have learned from the experience). I hope this helps. Good Luck.
