1 Peter 5:8-14 ▼

8 Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,

9 whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished in the world.

10 And the God of all grace, who called you to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you];

11 to Him [is] the glory and the power through the ages and the ages! Amen.

12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon, I wrote through few [words] to you, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you have stood.

13 She in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.

14 Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
