Study note

1 Peter 1:5

  • For the salvation: In the New Testament, salvation often means the final rescue from sin and death when Christ returns. This hope encourages Christians to persevere until the end (see also 1:9, 10; 2:2; 4:18).

  • ready to be revealed: The future revealing of God’s salvation stands in contrast to the present time, when God and his purposes are not fully seen (see also 1:7, 13).
