1 Peter 1:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 (A)As to this salvation, the prophets who (B)prophesied of the (C)grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 [a]seeking to know what person or time (D)the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He (E)predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories [b]to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who (F)preached the gospel to you by (G)the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which (H)angels long to [c]look.
