1 Peter 1:3-12 — Praise to God for a Living Hope
1Pet.1.3-12
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has caused us to be born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary , you have been grieved by various trials, 7so that the proven genuineness of your faith—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. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and though you do not see him now, but believe in him, you greatly rejoice with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9receiving the outcome of your faith , the salvation of your souls. 10Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to come to you searched and investigated carefully, 11inquiring into what time or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified beforehand to the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow them. 12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which have now been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look closely.
