Hello  
  
1. you could use a get-policy-version

```
aws iam get-policy-version --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNTNUMBER:policy/MyPolicy --version-id v1
```

2. if you are using organizations, you could do a "describe-policy" to get the content.

```
aws organizations describe-policy --policy-id p-yourPolicyID
```

hope this helps,
