1 Peter 1:6-12

English Standard Version

⁶ In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by ^(A)various trials, ⁷ so that ^(B)the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes ^(C)though it is tested by ^(D)fire—may be found to result in ^(E)praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ^8 (F)Though you have not seen him, you love him. ^(G)Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, ⁹ obtaining ^(H)the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

¹⁰ Concerning this salvation, ^(I)the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, ¹¹ inquiring ^(J)what person or time^{[a] (K)}the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating ^(L)when he predicted ^(M)the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. ^12 (N)It was revealed to them that ^(O)they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you ^(P)by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, ^(Q)things into which angels long to look.
