6 Exult in this, though now for a brief moment, if need be, you have suffered many hardships.
7 These are in order that the test of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable and yet is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 Him you love, though you have never seen him; in him you ever believe, though even now you see him not, and you are rejoicing with joy unspeakable and full of glory,
9 as you continually receive the reward of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
