The trial of our faith is precious

The trial of our faith is precious – 1 Peter 1:1-7

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

² Elect (Chosen out, selected) according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through (remaining within) sanctification (essential, purity, holiness) of the Spirit (holy spirtit), unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten (bear again) us again unto a lively hope (the hope of living again) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

⁴ To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away (unfading), reserved in heaven for you,

⁵ Who are kept by the power of God through (remaining within) faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

⁶ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

⁷ That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
