3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4. Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,
5. Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
6. Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
7. That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8. Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified;
9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
