1 Peter 1:5-8

5who are 1protected by the power of God 2through faith for 3a salvation ready 4to be revealed in the last time.

6 5In this you greatly rejoice, even though now 6for a little while, 7if necessary, you have been distressed by 8various 9trials,

7so that the 10 11proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which 12is perishable, 13even though tested by fire, 14may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at 15the revelation of Jesus Christ;

8and 16though you have not seen Him, you 17love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and 18full of glory,
