1Pe 1:3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness begot us again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out of the dead, 1Pe 1:4 to an incorruptible inheritance, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved for you in the heavens, 1Pe 1:5 who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, to salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time, 1Pe 1:6 in which you are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in various trials, 1Pe 1:7 so that the proof of your faith—much more precious than gold that is perishing, and being approved through fire—may be found to [result in] praise, and honor, and glory, at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 1Pe 1:8 whom, having not seen, you love, in whom, now believing [although] not seeing, you are glad with unspeakable joy and have been filled with glory, 1Pe 1:9 receiving the outcome of the faith—salvation of your souls; 1Pe 1:10 concerning which salvation [the] prophets sought out and searched out, who prophesied concerning the grace toward you, 1Pe 1:11 searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was signifying, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these, 1Pe 1:12 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 proclaimed good news to you), by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven, to which things messengers desire to look into intently. |
