* Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead , * To an inheritance incorruptible , and undefiled , and that fadeth not away , reserved in heaven for you , * Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time . * Wherein ye greatly rejoice , though now for a season , if need be , ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations : * That the trial of your faith , being much more precious than of gold that perisheth , though it be tried with fire , might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ : * Whom having not seen , ye love ; in whom , though now ye see him not , yet believing , ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory : * Receiving the end of your faith , even the salvation of your souls . * Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently , who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you : * Searching what , or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify , when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ , and the glory that should follow . * Unto whom it was revealed , that not unto themselves , but unto us they did minister the things , which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven ; which things the angels desire to look into .
