1 Peter 1:3-5

New Century Version

We Have a Living Hope

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In God’s great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope, because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. ⁴ Now we hope for the blessings God has for his children. These blessings, which cannot be destroyed or be spoiled or lose their beauty, are kept in heaven for you. ⁵ God’s power protects you through your faith until salvation is shown to you at the end of time.
