1 Peter 1:6

A New Birth To A Living Hope

⁵ who are guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time; ⁶ wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a short time, if need be, made sorrowful by manifold trials, ⁷ that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold which perisheth, but is tried with fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the manifestation of Jesus Christ;
