All praise to God,
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is by his great mercy that
we have been born again,
because God raised
Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,
and we have a priceless inheritance--
an inheritance that is kept in heaven
for you, pure and undefiled,
beyond the reach of change and decay.
1 Peter 1:3-4 NLT
