1 Peter 1:3-12 - A New Birth To A Living Hope
3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having according to his great mercy begotten us again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and never fading, having been kept in the heavens unto you, 5 who are preserved by the power of God through faith unto the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In whom you rejoice, if however it is needful, being grieved a little while among manifold temptations: in order 7 that the trial of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, however being tried by the fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ: 8 whom you not seeing, love with divine love; on whom, not looking, but believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the grace towards you, sought out and investigated, 11 searching into what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ who was in them, witnessing the sufferings towards Christ, and the glories after these, did show: 12 to whom it was revealed, because they were ministering not these things for themselves, but for you, which are now proclaimed unto you by those who preach to you the gospel with the Holy Ghost having been sent from heaven; into which things the angels desire to look down.
