1 Peter 1:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶ In this you rejoice,^[a] though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials, ⁷ so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ⁸ Without having seen^[b] him you^[c] love him; though you do not now see him you^[d] believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy.
