1 Peter 5:7-12

English Standard Version

^7 (A)casting all your anxieties on him, because ^(B)he cares for you. ^8 (C)Be sober-minded; ^(D)be watchful. Your ^(E)adversary the devil ^(F)prowls around ^(G)like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ^9 (H)Resist him, ^(I)firm in your faith, knowing that ^(J)the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. ¹⁰ And ^(K)after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, ^(L)who has called you to his ^(M)eternal glory in Christ, will himself ^(N)restore, ^(O)confirm, strengthen, and establish you. ^11 (P)To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

¹² By ^(Q)Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, ^(R)I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is ^(S)the true grace of God. ^(T)Stand firm in it.
