1 Peter 1:4-7

4[born anew] into an inheritance which is imperishable [beyond the reach of change] and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,

5who are being protected and shielded by the power of God through your faith for salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.

6In this you rejoice greatly, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,

7so that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, may be found to result in [your] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
