1 Peter 1:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 (A)In this you greatly rejoice, even though now (B)for a little while, (C)if necessary, you have been distressed by (D)various [a]trials, 7 so that the [b](E)proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes (F)though tested by fire, (G)may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at (H)the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8 and (I)though you have not seen Him, you (J)love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and [c]full of glory, 9 obtaining as (K)the outcome of your faith, the salvation of [d]your souls.

Psalm 66:8-12
New American Standard Bible
8 Bless our God, you peoples,
And [a](A)sound His praise abroad,
9 Who [b](B)keeps us in life,
And (C)does not allow our feet to [c]slip.
10 For You have (D)put us to the test, God;
You have (E)refined us as silver is refined.
11 You (F)brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon [d]us.
12 You made men (G)ride over our heads;
We went through (H)fire and through water.
Yet You (I)brought us out into a place of abundance.
