1 Peter 1:9-12

New International Version

⁹ for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.^(A)

¹⁰ Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke^(B) of the grace that was to come to you,^(C) searched intently and with the greatest care,^{(D) 11} trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ^(E) in them was pointing when he predicted^(F) the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. ¹² It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you,^(G) when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you^(H) by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.^(I) Even angels long to look into these things.
