REGENERATED BY GOD THROUGH AN INCORRUPTIBLE HERITAGE

DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

1. Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the pilgrims from the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia. 

2. elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. 

3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

4. for an incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading inheritance reserved in heaven for you, 

5. that you are being kept by the power of God through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time; 

6. in which you rejoice, even if now for a little while, if need be, you are grieved by various trials, 

7. so that the trial of your faith, more precious than gold that perishes, though tried by fire, may redound to praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 

8. whom you love without having seen him; in whom, without seeing it now, but believing it, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, 9. obtaining the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 

(1 Peter, 1:1-9)
