1 Petrus 1:5

1:5 who by God’s power are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Petrus 1:9-10

1:9 because you are attaining the goal of your faith – the salvation of your souls.

1:10 Concerning this salvation, ¹  the prophets ²  who predicted the grace that would come to you ³  searched and investigated carefully.

1 Petrus 2:2

2:2 And ⁴  yearn ⁵  like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, ⁶  so that by it you may grow up to ⁷  salvation, ⁸ 

[1:10]  ¹ tn Grk “about which salvation.”

[1:10]  ² sn Prophets refers to the OT prophets.

[1:10]  ³ tn Grk “who prophesied about the grace that is to/for you.”

[2:2]  ⁴ tn Here “And” has been supplied in the translation to show clearly the connection between vv. 1 and 2.

[2:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “getting rid of…yearn for.”

[2:2]  ⁶ tn The word for spiritual in Greek is λογικός (logikos), which is a play on words with the reference in 1:23-25 to the living and enduring word (λόγος, logos) of God, through which they were born anew. This is a subtle indication that the nourishment for their growth must be the word of God.

[2:2]  ⁷ tn Or “in, in regard to.” But the focus of “salvation” here, as in 1:5, 9, is the future deliverance of these who have been born anew and protected by God’s power.

[2:2]  ⁸ tc The Byzantine text lacks εἰς σωτηρίαν (ei" swthrian, “to salvation”), while the words are found in the earliest and best witnesses (Ì⁷² א A B C K P Ψ 33 81 630 1241 1505 1739 al latt sy co). Not only is the longer reading superior externally, but since the notion of growing up [in]to salvation would have seemed theologically objectionable, it is easy to see why some scribes would omit it.
