1 Peter 1:8

A New Birth To A Living Hope

⁷ that your faith being put to a more advantageous proof, than that of gold, which loses by the essay, may redound to your praise and highest honour at the appearance of Jesus Christ: ⁸ whom though you have not seen, you love: and though he is not now the object of your view, yet you believe in him, and triumph with such a laudable transport, as cannot be express'd: ⁹ since the salvation of your souls is the reward you receive for your faith.

Joy Inexpressible

Indescribable And Glorious Joy

Joy Unspeakable
