1 Peter 1:10-12
New English Translation
10 Concerning this salvation,[a] the prophets[b] who predicted the grace that would come to you[c] searched and investigated carefully. 11 They probed[d] into what person or time[e] the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified beforehand about the sufferings appointed for Christ[f] and his subsequent glory.[g] 12 They were shown[h] that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things now announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things angels long to catch a glimpse of.

World English Bible
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you, 11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them. 12 To them it was revealed, that they served not themselves, but you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
