“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:”
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy — the assertion that believers love and trust Christ without visual contact establishes the nature of Christian faith as relational trust rather than sight-dependent. The joy (chara) that results is characteristically 'inexpressible' (anlalētos, beyond speech) and 'glorious' (dedoxasmene, glorified), suggesting that faith's deepest rewards transcend articulation.
