"This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials."
— 1 Peter 1:6, NET Bible
“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,”
“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:”
New Birth to Joy and Holiness Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
that is, into an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you,
who by God’s power are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials.
Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold– gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away– and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
You have not seen him, but you love him. You do not see him now but you believe in him, and so you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,
because you are attaining the goal of your faith– the salvation of your souls.
