6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you have to suffer various kinds of trials,
7 so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more valuable than gold that perishes when it is tested by fire, may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. And even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,
9 because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
