1 Peter 1:3-9 (New American Standard Bible)

 ^3(A)Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who ^(B)according to His great mercy ^(C)has caused us to be born again to ^(D)a living hope through the ^(E)resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

 ⁴to obtain an ^(F)inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and ^(G)will not fade away, ^(H)reserved in heaven for you,

 ⁵who are ^(I)protected by the power of God ^(J)through faith for ^(K)a salvation ready ^(L)to be revealed in the last time.

 ^6(M)In this you greatly rejoice, even though now ^(N)for a little while, ^(O)if necessary, you have been distressed by ^(P)various trials,

 ⁷so that the ^(Q)proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, ^(R)even though tested by fire, ^(S)may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at ^(T)the revelation of Jesus Christ;

 ⁸and ^(U)though you have not seen Him, you ^(V)love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

 ⁹obtaining as ^(W)the outcome of your faith the salvation of ^[a]your souls.
