1 Peter 1:6-9

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.

8Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and though you do not even see Him now, you believe and trust in Him and you greatly rejoice and delight with inexpressible and glorious joy,

9receiving as the result [the outcome, the consummation] of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
