Lamsa(i)
3 Blessed be God, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who by his abundant mercy has again renewed us spiritually to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, that does not fade away, and is prepared in heaven for you,
5 While you are kept by the power of God through faith, for the life eternal which is ready to be revealed at the last time.
6 Wherein you will rejoice for ever, though at present you are sorrowful for a while, through diverse trials which have come upon you:
7 So that the proof of your faith, being much more precious than refined gold which has been purified by fire, may be made manifest for the glory and honour and praise at the appearing of Jesus Christ,
8 Whom you have not seen, but whom you yet love, and in whose faith you rejoice with exceeding joy that cannot be described;
9 And you will receive the reward for your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
