^5 (A)who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

^6 (B)In this you greatly rejoice, though now ^(C)for a little while, if need be, ^(D)you have been ^[a]grieved by various trials, ⁷ that ^(E)the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though ^(F)it is tested by fire, ^(G)may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, ^8 (H)whom having not ^[b]seen you love. ^(I)Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, ⁹ receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

¹¹ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence ^(A)to the full assurance of hope until the end, ¹² that you do not become ^[a]sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience ^(B)inherit the promises.
