1 Peter 1:3-9
Born Again to a Living Hope
3 aBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! bAccording to his great mercy, che has caused us to be born again to a living hope dthrough the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to aan inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and bunfading, ckept in heaven for you, 5 who by God’s power are being guarded athrough faith for a salvation bready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by avarious trials, 7 so that athe tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes bthough it is tested by cfire—may be found to result in dpraise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 aThough you have not seen him, you love him. bThough you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining athe outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
