1 Peter 1:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.(A) 8 Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,(B) 9 as you attain the goal of [your] faith, the salvation of your souls.
