searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.

To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,

but the word of the Lord endures forever." This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.

who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."

Who, when he was cursed, did not curse back. When he suffered, did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;

who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.

For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.
