1 Peter 5:6-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:

⁷ Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.

⁸ Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.

⁹ Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you.

¹¹ To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

¹² By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand.

¹³ The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark.

¹⁴ Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
