receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
even the salvation of your souls: The word "salvation" (soteeria) sums it all up "inclusively, to sum up all the blessings bestowed by God on men in Christ through the Holy Spirit e.g. 2 Corinthians 6:2; Hebrews 5:9; 1 Peter 1:9-10" (Vine, Vol. III 316). The word "soul" (psukee) means "the (human) soul in so far as it is so constituted that by the right use of the aide offered it by God it can attain its highest end and secure eternal blessedness, the soul regarded as a moral being designed for everlasting life" (Thayer 667-2-5590). Salvation is the "end" of our faith--that is what it is all about; and Christ came for this glorious consummation.
