1 Peter 1:2-9

2according to the 1foreknowledge of God the Father, 2by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, 3to 4obey Jesus Christ and be 5sprinkled with His blood: 6May grace and peace 7be yours in the fullest measure.

3 8Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who 9according to His great mercy 10has caused us to be born again to 11a living hope through the 12resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to obtain an 13inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and 14will not fade away, 15reserved in heaven for you, 5who are 16protected by the power of God 17through faith for 18a salvation ready 19to be revealed in the last time. 6 20In this you greatly rejoice, even though now 21for a little while, 22if necessary, you have been distressed by 23various 24trials, 7so that the 25 26proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which 27is perishable, 28even though tested by fire, 29may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at 30the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8and 31though you have not seen Him, you 32love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and 33full of glory, 9obtaining as 34the outcome of your faith the salvation of 35your souls.
