1 Peter 1:4-7

4We have been born into a new life which has an inheritance that can’t be destroyed or corrupted and can’t fade away. That inheritance is kept in heaven for you,

5since you are guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed at the end of time.

6You are extremely happy about these things, even though you have to suffer different kinds of trouble for a little while now.

7The purpose of these troubles is to test your faith as fire tests how genuine gold is. Your faith is more precious than gold, and by passing the test, it gives praise, glory, and honor to God. This will happen when Jesus Christ appears again.
