1 Peter 1:6-9

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