1 Peter 1:3-12 - A New Birth To A Living Hope
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy has begotten us to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in heaven for you 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In which you rejoice, though now for a little while if need be made sad by manifold trials, 7 that the trial of your faith, which is much more precious than gold that is destroyed but proved by fire, may be found to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom not having seen you love, in whom believing though now you see him not you rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorious, 9 receiving the end of the faith, the salvation of souls.
10 Concerning which salvation the prophets also who prophesied concerning the grace [bestowed] on us inquired diligently and sought, 11 inquiring as to what person or what time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it declared before the sufferings of Christ and after these the glories, 12 to whom it was revealed that they ministered not to themselves but to us those things which have now been declared to you by those who preached to you the good news, with the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, into which the angels desire to look.
