who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Salvation is the subject of 1 Peter 1:3 to 1 Peter 2:10. Note the recurrence of the word "salvation" (Gr. soteria) in 1 Peter 1:5; 1 Peter 1:9-10, and 1 Peter 2:2. Peter referred primarily to the future aspect of our salvation in this epistle, namely, our glorification.
