##### The use of paradox #####
A paradox is a seemingly absurd statement that appears to contradict itself, but it is not absurd. This sentence in 1:6 is a paradox. "You are very glad about this, even though it is now necessary for you to feel sadness in many different troubles." But in 1:7 Peter explains why the people are very glad even though they have troubles.

But in 1:7 Peter explains why the people are very glad even though they have troubles. ([1 Peter 1:6](./06.md))
##### "You are now" #####
Even though the statement, "You are now receiving for yourselves the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls," is in the present tense, it refers to an action that has already happened. 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 that appears to contradict itself, but it is not absurd. This sentence in 12:5 is a paradox: "I will not boast, except about my weaknesses." Most people do not boast about being weak. And this sentence in 12:10 is a paradox: "For whenever I am weak, then I am strong." In 12:9 Paul explains why both of these statements are true.

##### The use of paradox #####
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." People would not normally think that having faith in God when being persecuted is a sign of God's righteous judgment. But in 1:5-10, Paul explains how God will reward those who have faith in him and how he will judge those who afflict them.
