1 Peter 1

Thank you, Father, for electing me and sanctifying me through your Spirit. Thank you that in your abundant mercy you have a begotten me into a lively hope by the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the dead to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that fades not away and is reserved in heaven for me.

Thank you, Father, that I am kept by your power through faith into a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last times.  I rejoice in that salvation even though now, for a season, if need be, there is unhappiness and manifold tests and trials. These try my faith as fire tries gold and my faith is found to the praise and honor and glory of my Lord Jesus, the Christ.
