3 ^aBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who ^baccording to His great mercy ^chas caused us to be born again to ^da living hope through the ^eresurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an ^ainheritance incorruptible and undefiled and ^bunfading, having been ^ckept in heaven for you, 5 who are ^aprotected by the power of God ^bthrough faith for ^ca salvation ready ^dto be revealed in the last time. 6 ^aIn this you greatly rejoice, even though now ^bfor a little while, ^cif necessary, you have been grieved by ^dvarious ¹trials, 7 so that the ¹^aproof of your faith, being more precious than gold which ²is perishable, ^beven though tested by fire, ^cmay be found to result in praise and glory and honor at ^dthe revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 And ^athough you have not seen Him, you ^blove Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and ¹full of glory, 9 receiving as ^athe outcome of your faith the salvation of ¹your souls.
