1 Peter 1:5-9 ▼

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

6 You rejoice in this, though now for a short time you have had to struggle in various trials

7 so that the genuineness of your faith—more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

8 You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy,

9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
