1 Peter 1:6 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 1:6

4 to an inheritance¹ incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, ^areserved in heaven for you,

5 ^awho are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 ^aIn this you greatly rejoice, though now ^bfor a little while, if need be, ^cyou have been grieved by various trials,

7 that ^athe genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though ^bit is tested by fire, ^cmay be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

8 ^awhom having not¹ seen you love. ^bThough now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

10 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

11 searching what, or what manner of time, ^athe Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to¹ us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which ^aangels desire to look into.
