1 Peter 1:3-7

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, ⁴ to obtain an ^(F)inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and ^(G)will not fade away, ^(H)reserved in heaven for you, ⁵ who 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 ^[a]trials, ⁷ so that the ^[b](Q)proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes ^(R)though tested by fire, ^(S)may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at ^(T)the revelation of Jesus Christ;
