1 Peter 1:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace intended for you made careful search and inquiry,(A) 11 inquiring about the time and circumstances[a] that the Spirit of Christ within them indicated when it testified in advance to the sufferings intended for Christ and the subsequent glory.(B) 12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things that have now been announced to you through those who brought you good news by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look!(C)

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.
