1 Peter 1:3-12

3 1Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who 2according to His great mercy 3has caused us to be born again to 4a living hope through the 5resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to obtain an 6inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and 7will not fade away, 8reserved in heaven for you, 5who are 9protected by the power of God 10through faith for 11a salvation ready 12to be revealed in the last time. 6 13In this you greatly rejoice, even though now 14for a little while, 15if necessary, you have been distressed by 16various 17trials, 7so that the 18 19proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes 20though tested by fire, 21may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at 22the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8and 23though you have not seen Him, you 24love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and 25full of glory, 9obtaining as 26the outcome of your faith, the salvation of 27your souls.

10 28As to this salvation, the prophets who 29prophesied of the 30grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 31seeking to know what person or time 32the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He 33predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories 34to follow. 12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who 35preached the gospel to you by 36the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things into which 37angels long to 38look.
