1 Peter 1:8-12

8Though you have not seen him, you love him; though not seeing him now, you believe in him, and you rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy,

9because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

10Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who prophesied about the grace that would come to you, searched and carefully investigated.

11They inquired into what time or what circumstances the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified in advance to the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you. These things have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven  — angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.
