1 Peter
1
4
that is, into an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you,
5
who by God's power are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6
This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials.
7
Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold - gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away - and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
8
You have not seen him, but you love him. You do not see him now but you believe in him, and so you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,
9
because you are attaining the goal of your faith - the salvation of your souls.
10
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who predicted the grace that would come to you searched and investigated carefully.
11
They probed into what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified beforehand about the sufferings appointed for Christ and his subsequent glory.
