1 Peter 1:6

SufferingTrials and adversityJoyGrief

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
