NASB | 1 Peter 1:7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 1:7 so that the genuineness of your faith, which is much more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, may be found to result in [your] praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
Subject: What is meant to be baptized by fire? |
Bible Note: 1 Peter 1:7 clearly does not refer to Acts 2 in which Luke speaks of the tongues as of fire appearing at Pentecost. In this passage Peter is speaking of the trials of faith as being essentially productive and to illustrate his point he is referring to the common practice of subjecting gold to intense heat to refine and purify it. Thus, when trials and difficulties assail the life of the believer, he is made purer by the testing. This analogy has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of Acts 2. --Hank |
