"Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: "
— 1 Peter 1:10, American Standard Version
“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:”
“Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,”
“Concerning this salvation, the prophets who predicted the grace that would come to you searched and investigated carefully.”
“Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.”
“For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;”
“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:”
that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.
To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
