But in 1:7 Peter explains why the people are very glad even though they have troubles. ([1 Peter 1:6](./06.md))

Therefore, it can be translated as a completed action. Some English translations do this and use a slightly different construction.

-A paradox is a seemingly absurd statement, which appears to contradict itself, but it is not absurd. A paradox occurs in 1:4-5: "We talk about your patience and faith in all your persecutions. We talk about the afflictions that you endure. This is a sign of God's righteous judgment."
