6Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,
7that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ --
8whom not having known you love; on whom, though now you don`t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory --
9receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11searching for what or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.
12To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
