1 Peter 1:2-9

2elect according to [the] foreknowledge of 1God [the] Father, by sanctification of [the] Spirit, unto [the] obedience and sprinkling of [the] blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

3Blessed [be] the 2God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from among [the] dead,

4to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in [the] heavens for you,

5who are kept guarded by [the] power of 3God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in [the] last time.

6Wherein ye exult, for a little while at present, if needed, put to grief by various trials,

7that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ:

8whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom [though] not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with [the] glory,

9receiving the end of your faith, [the] salvation of [your] souls.
