1 Peter 1:9

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

Receiving (in sure anticipation) the end of your faith - i:e., its crowning consummation, finally-completed "salvation" (Peter confirms Paul's teaching, justification by faith); also receiving now the title, and the first fruits. In , "salvation" is represented as already present, whereas "the prophets" had it not so. It must, therefore, in this verse refer to present. Deliverance from wrath: believers even now "receive salvation," though its full "revelation" is future.

Of your souls. The immortal soul was lost, so "salvation" primarily concerns it; the body shall share in redemption hereafter; the believer's soul is saved already.
