For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;

to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

and the saying of the Lord doth remain -- to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.

for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.

because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment from the house of God, and if first from us, what the end of those disobedient to the good news of God?
