In his great mercy he has given us into a living hope through the of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, who through are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to grief in all kinds of trials.
