1 Peter 1:3-9
31Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who 2according to His great mercy 3has caused us to be born again to 4a living hope through the 5resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to obtain an 6inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and 7will not fade away, 8reserved in heaven for you, 5who are 9protected by the power of God 10through faith for 11a salvation ready 12to be revealed in the last time. 613In this you greatly rejoice, even though now 14for a little while, 15if necessary, you have been distressed by 16various 17trials, 7so that the 1819proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which 20is perishable, 21even though tested by fire, 22may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at 23the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8and 24though you have not seen Him, you 25love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and 26full of glory, 9obtaining as 27the outcome of your faith the salvation of 28your souls.
