1 Peter 1:4-7

4that is, into an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you,

5who by God’s power are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials.

7Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold – gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away – and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
