1 Peter 1:3-9

Revised Geneva Translation

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who, according to His abundant mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope by the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ,

⁴ to an immortal and undefiled inheritance which does not wither, reserved in Heaven for us

⁵ who are kept for salvation through faith by the power of God (which is prepared to be revealed in the last time

⁶ and in which you rejoice. Though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through various trials

⁷ so that the trial of your faith—being much more precious than gold, which perishes even though it is tried with fire—might be found to your praise, honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ,

⁸ Whom you have not seen and yet love; in Whom now, though you do not see Him, you still believe and rejoice with unspeakable and glorious joy,

⁹ receiving the purpose of your faith: the salvation of your souls).
