1 Peter 5:10

1 Peter 5:10

8 Be¹ sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

10 But¹ may the God of all grace, ^awho called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while,³ perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

11 ^aTo Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Farewell and Peace

12 By ^aSilvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying ^bthat this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

13 She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does ^aMark my son.
