3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
8whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,
13Therefore prepare your minds for action.1:13 literally, "gird up the waist of your mind" or "put on the belt of the waist of your mind" Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—
