"In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials, "
— 1 Peter 1:6, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:”
“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials, ”
“Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,”
“This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials.”
“Wherein you shalt greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:”
“You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,”
“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:”
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:
unto an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, which is reserved for you in heaven.
By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for a salvation which is ready to be revealed in the end time.
In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials,
so that the testing of your faith, which is much more precious than gold tested by fire, may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
For though you have not seen him, you love him. In him also, though you do not see him, you now believe. And in believing, you shall exult with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
returning with the goal of your faith, the salvation of souls.
