1 Peter 1

Blessed be you, my God, and my father. In accord with your abundant mercy, you begot me to a living hope, through the resurrection of my Lord Jesus from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that does not fade away reserved in heaven for me.

I was elected by you, Father, in accord with your foreknowledge, to be saved and sanctified by your Holy Spirit. Your grace is on me as a gift, and your peace is multiplied to me.

I am kept by your power through faith in salvation. I know it will all be revealed in the last time.

In the meantime, I rejoice greatly, even though in this current time various trials test the genuineness of my faith. Through it all, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I praise and honor you. I glory in revelation and communion with Jesus, my Lord and Savior.

Though I do not see you, Lord, I hear you, and I know you. I rejoice with you in faith and believing, with joy inexpressible and full of glory. You have saved my soul.
