Philip 2:12 is discussing spiritual growth, the context of the chapter is showing ones salvation (working out) growing in humility as Christ was humble.

as for 1Pe.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead: 4 Unto an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled and that cannot fade, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein you shalt greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ. 8 Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now though you see him not, you believe and, believing, shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified; 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

This verse is speaking of saved people, saved by faith who have an inheritance waiting for them already.

1Cor.

18 For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

Paul said that he and the Corinthians were saved

No it isn't. Show me.

It may be waiting a long time, because it is still in the believer's future, as the passage clearly shows.
