1Peter:1:3-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
He according to His great mercy having regenerated us to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead ,
*
to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled ,
and unfading ,
having been kept in Heaven for you
*
by the power of God ,
having been guarded through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time ;
*
in which you exult ;
yet a little while ,
if need be ,
grieving in manifold trials ,
*
so that the proving of your faith ,
much more precious than perishing gold ,
but having been proved through fire ,
may be found to praise and honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ ;
*
whom having not seen ,
you love ;
in whom not yet seeing ,
but believing ,
you exult with unspeakable and having been glorified ,
*
obtaining the end of your faith ,
the salvation of your souls .
*
About which salvation the prophets sought out and searched out ,
prophesying concerning the grace for you ,
*
searching for what ,
or what sort of time the Spirit of Christ made clear within them ;
testifying beforehand of the sufferings belonging to Christ ,
and the glories after these .
*
To whom it was revealed that not to themselves ,
but to us they ministered the same things ,
which now were announced to you by those having preached the gospel to you in the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven ;
into which things angels long to bow to look .
