| NLT © biblegateway 1Pe 1:7 |
These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold––and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. |
| MSG © biblegateway 1Pe 1:7 |
Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it [proved] pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out [proved] genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory. |

He declares their faith to be a present reality in v. 5 and 9, so in context v. 8 affirms that their faith is indeed genuine. 2 tn Grk “which is passing away but is tested by fire,” describing gold in a lesser-to-greater comparison with faith’s proven character. 3 tn Grk “that the testing of your faith…may be found unto praise,” showing the result of the trials mentioned in v. 6. 4 tn Grk “at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (cf. v. 13). |
