1 Peter 1:3-12 - A New Birth To A Living Hope
3 Praised the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy having begotten us again to a living hope, by the rising up of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, kept in the heavens for us, 5 Who by the power of God watching ourselves by faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 By which ye are transported with joy, now for a little, (if it is necessary,) having grieved in various temptations: 7 That the proof of your faith, much more precious than perishing gold, and being tried by fire, might be found to praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom not having seen, ye love; in whom, now not seeing, but believing, ye are transported with joy unalterable, and highly valued: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of souls.
10 For which salvation the prophets sought and inquired anxiously, they having prophesied of the grace to you: 11 Searching for whom or what time the Spirit of Christ which in them manifested, testifying beforehand the sufferings to Christ, and the glories after these. 12 To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were serving these things, which now have been again proclaimed to you by them having announced the good news in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; into which angels eagerly desire to stoop and creep.
