1st Peter 1:4

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the choice sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2 according to a foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied!

3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead,

4 to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you,

5 who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

6 in which ye are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in manifold trials,

7 that the proof of your faith -- much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved -- may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
