1 Peter 1:6-9
In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved
by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than
gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory
and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love
him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is
inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation
of your souls.
