1:9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

1:10Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

1:11Searching 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.

1:12Unto 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.
