"About this salvation, the prophets inquired and diligently searched, those who prophesied about the future grace in you, "
— 1 Peter 1:10, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:”
“Concerning which salvation the prophets sought 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:”
so that the testing of your faith, which is much more precious than gold tested by fire, may be found in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
For though you have not seen him, you love him. In him also, though you do not see him, you now believe. And in believing, you shall exult with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
returning with the goal of your faith, the salvation of souls.
About this salvation, the prophets inquired and diligently searched, those who prophesied about the future grace in you,
inquiring as to what type of condition was signified to them by the Spirit of Christ, when foretelling those sufferings that are in Christ, as well as the subsequent glories.
To them, it was revealed that they were ministering, not for themselves, but for you those things which have now been announced to you through those who have preached the Gospel to you, through the Holy Spirit, who was sent down from heaven to the One upon whom the Angels desire to gaze.
For this reason, gird the waist of your mind, be sober, and hope perfectly in the grace that is offered to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ.
