1 Peter 5:6-14
New International Version
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.(A) 7 Cast all your anxiety on him(B) because he cares for you.(C)
8 Be alert and of sober mind.(D) Your enemy the devil prowls around(E) like a roaring lion(F) looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him,(G) standing firm in the faith,(H) because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.(I)
10 And the God of all grace, who called you(J) to his eternal glory(K) in Christ, after you have suffered a little while,(L) will himself restore you and make you strong,(M) firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.(N)
Final Greetings
12 With the help of Silas,[a](O) whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly,(P) encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.(Q)
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.(R) 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.(S)
Peace(T) to all of you who are in Christ.

1 Peter 5:6-14
King James Version
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
