The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New International Version NIV
6 Rejoice in this, even though for a little while you may have to experience grief in 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 Even gold is tested for genuineness by fire. The purpose of these trials is so that your trust's genuineness, which is far more valuable than perishable gold, will be judged worthy of praise, glory and honor at the revealing of Yeshua the Messiah.
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 Without having seen him, you love him. Without seeing him now, but trusting in him, you continue to be full of joy that is glorious beyond words.
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 And you are receiving what your trust is aiming at, namely, your deliverance.
9
for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
