So be truly glad.
There is wonderful joy ahead,
even though you must endure many trials
for a little while.
These trials will show that your faith is genuine.
It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—
though your faith is far more precious than gold.
So when your faith remains strong
through many trials,
it will bring you much praise and glory and honor
on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed
to the whole world.
