Born Again to a Living Hope<\/h5>\n

3\u00a0Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,\u20024\u00a0to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,\u20025\u00a0who by God\u2019s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.\u20026\u00a0In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,\u20027\u00a0so that the tested genuineness of your faith\u2014more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire\u2014may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
