In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith\u2013of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire\u2013may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
