1 Peter 1 : 3-9
3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead ,
4 and into an inheritance that can never perish , spoil or fade . This inheritance is kept in heaven for you ,
5 who through faith are shielded by God ’ s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time .
6
In all this you greatly rejoice , though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials .
7
These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith — of greater worth than gold , which perishes even though refined by fire — may result in praise , glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed .
8
Though you have not seen him , you love him ; and even though you do not see him now , you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy ,
9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith , the salvation of your souls .
