1 Peter 5:10
KJV
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
NIV
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ [omit], after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
To “restore” something is to return it to its former glory, but God brings us through trials and tribulations not to make us like we once were, but to sanctify and mold us into something more perfect than we used to be.
