Bible Answer: for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things. 1 Peter 1:9-12 NIV It is not always easy to understand the meaning of a verse if we do not consider the context, the surrounding verses. That is why I have posted the entire paragraph in which the verse in question appears. "Never read a Bible verse. That's right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph -- at least" (Never Read a Bible Verse by Gregory Koukl) Grace to you, Kalos |
