KJV with Strongs

(12) It was revealed to them that they weren't serving themselves but you! This same thing, which now has been announced to you through your proclaimers of good news by רוּחַ Ruach HaKodesh (The Set Apart Holy, Spirit), sent out from sky above. For which even angelic messengers long to bend down and look!

The F.O.G
[12] יהוה revealed to them that they weren't recording these messages for themselves, but for you - prophecies now fulfilled in the good news proclaimed to you by those empowered by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels bend down from heaven, straining to understand these magnificent mysteries of salvation.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.
