1 Peter 1:6-9

1 Peter 1:6-9

[6] Wherein  ye greatly rejoice,  though now  for a season,  if  need  ye are in heaviness  through  manifold  temptations:  [7] That  the trial  faith,  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:  [8] Whom  not  ye love;  in  whom,  though now  ye see  him not,  yet  believing,  ye rejoice  with joy  unspeakable  and  full of glory:  [9] Receiving  the end  faith,  even the salvation  of your souls.
