1:7 will show that your faith is genuine: Faith, like gold, is purified as it is tested.
• The NLT understands praise and glory and honor as being given by God to the faithful Christian. The phrase could also mean that a faithful Christian life brings praise and glory and honor to God.
Christian Suffering
We should not be surprised when suffering comes (1 Pet 4:12). Christians who live a countercultural lifestyle in obedience to God should expect the culture to respond with hostility. We should expect mockery, discrimination, trumped-up charges, and even violence.
God has a purpose for us in suffering: It brings us into fellowship with Christ, who suffered before he was glorified (4:13; see also Rom 8:17). By suffering in fellowship with Christ, we can be confident of enjoying the glory that he has already won.
First Peter focuses heavily on Christian suffering, especially unjust persecution at the hands of people hostile to the faith. The several themes about suffering that are woven throughout the letter find their climactic expression in 4:12-19.
We need to commit ourselves to doing what is right when we face suffering (4:19). Our difficulties can always provide an excuse for sinning, but when difficulties come our way, we must live exemplary lives, characterized by love for others. Our loving response to enemies in the midst of trials can be a powerful opportunity to share our faith. By treating our persecutors with love and kindness, we can make our faith respectable and even attractive to them.
We need to remember in our trials that God is both sovereign and faithful (4:19). He controls all the circumstances of life, and we don’t need to fear that a trial will come our way apart from God’s oversight or will.

τὸ δοκίμιον ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως & διὰ πυρὸς δὲ δοκιμαζομένου
the proving ˱of˲_you_all the faith & by fire but /being/_approved
Here Peter speaks of faith, as if it were gold that is refined by passing it through fire. He also uses fire to refer to the hardships that test how well believers trust in Christ. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “the genuineness of your faith … but being tested by hardships the way fire tests gold”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὸ δοκίμιον ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως
the proving ˱of˲_you_all the faith
If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of genuineness and faith, you can express the same ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “the fact that you genuinely believe”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ἵνα τὸ δοκίμιον ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως πολυτιμότερον χρυσίου τοῦ ἀπολλυμένου, διὰ πυρὸς δὲ δοκιμαζομένου, εὑρεθῇ εἰς ἔπαινον, καὶ δόξαν, καὶ τιμὴν, ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “so that the genuineness of your faith might be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; that faith is more precious than the perishing gold, but being tested by fire”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως πολυτιμότερον χρυσίου τοῦ ἀπολλυμένου, διὰ πυρὸς δὲ δοκιμαζομένου
˱of˲_you_all the faith more_preciously_‹than› gold which_‹is› perishing by fire but /being/_approved
In this clause Peter means that faith is more valuable than gold because faith lasts forever but gold does not, even if it is refined by someone passing it through fire. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. It may be helpful to make this a separate sentence. Alternate translation: “of your faith, which is more precious than gold because even gold that is tested by fire can perish, but your faith will not perish”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
εὑρεθῇ εἰς ἔπαινον, καὶ δόξαν, καὶ τιμὴν
/may_be/_found to praise and glory and honor
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “it might result in praise and glory and honor”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
in /the/_revelation ˱of˲_Jesus Christ
Peter assumes that his readers will know that he is referring to the future revelation of Jesus Christ, when Jesus returns to earth. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “at the future revelation of Jesus Christ” or “when Jesus Christ reveals himself again in the future”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν ἀποκαλύψει Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
in /the/_revelation ˱of˲_Jesus Christ
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of revelation, you can express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “at the time when Jesus Christ is revealed”
