1 Peter 1:1-9

11Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who reside as 2strangers, 3scattered throughout 4Pontus, 5Galatia, 6Cappadocia, 7Asia, and 8Bithynia, 9who are chosen 2according to the 10foreknowledge of God the Father, 11by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, 12to 13obey Jesus Christ and be 14sprinkled with His blood: 15May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

316Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who 17according to His great mercy 18has caused us to be born again to 19a living hope through the 20resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to obtain an 21inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and 22will not fade away, 23reserved in heaven for you, 5who are 24protected by the power of God 25through faith for 26a salvation ready 27to be revealed in the last time. 628In this you greatly rejoice, even though now 29for a little while, 30if necessary, you have been distressed by 31various 32trials, 7so that the 3334proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes 35though tested by fire, 36may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at 37the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8and 38though you have not seen Him, you 39love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and 40full of glory, 9obtaining as 41the outcome of your faith, the salvation of 42your souls.
