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.  

Living Before God Our Father

13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 as obedient children, not aconforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;  
15 abut as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,  
16 because it is written, a“Be holy, for I am holy.”  
17 And if you call on the Father, who awithout partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your1 stay here in fear;

1 Peter 1:13

Wherefore - Having such encouragement. Gird up the loins of your mind - As persons in the eastern countries were wont, in travelling or running, to gird up their long garments, so gather ye up all your thoughts and affections, and keep your mind always disencumbered and prepared to run the race which is set before you. Be watchful - As servants that wait for their Lord. And hope to the end - Maintain a full expectation of all the grace - The blessings flowing from the free favour of God. Which shall be brought to you at the final revelation of Jesus Christ - And which are now brought to you by the revelation of Christ in you.
