4
and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
1 Peter 1:4 In-Context
2
who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
5
who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
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.
