Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see {him} not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Receiving the end of your faith, {even} the salvation of {your} souls.

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace {that should come} unto you:

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
