New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,
6
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
7
These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
8
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
9
for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
