First Peter 1: 3- 9

1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has regenerated us into a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:
1:4 unto an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, which is reserved for you in heaven.
1:5 By the power of God, you are guarded through faith for a salvation which is ready to be revealed in the end time.
1:6 In this, you should exult, if now, for a brief time, it is necessary to be made sorrowful by various trials,
1:7 so that the testing of your faith, which is much more precious than gold tested by fire, may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1:8 For though you have not seen him, you love him. In him also, though you do not see him, you now believe. And in believing, you shall exult with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
1:9 returning with the goal of your faith, the salvation of souls.

10:27 En Jezus, gazing at them, sei: “With men it is impossible; but not with God. For with God all things are possible.”

4:32	Inquire concerning the days of antiquity, which were before you, from the day when God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to another, if anything similar has ever occurred, or whether any such thing has ever been known,
4:33	that a people would hear the voice of God, speaking from the midst of fire, just as you have heard it, and live,
4:34	whether God has acted so as to enter and take for himself a nation from the midst of the nations, by means of tests, signs, and wonders, by means of fighting, and a strong hand, and an outstretched arm, and terrible visions, in accord with all the things which the Lord your God has accomplished for you in Egypt, in the sight of your eyes.
4:39	Dêrom, know on this day and consider in your heart, that the Lord himself is God in heaven above, and on earth below, and there is no other.
