1 Peter 5:6-14

English Standard Version

^6 (A)Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, ^7 (B)casting all your anxieties on him, because ^(C)he cares for you. ^8 (D)Be sober-minded; ^(E)be watchful. Your ^(F)adversary the devil ^(G)prowls around ^(H)like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ^9 (I)Resist him, ^(J)firm in your faith, knowing that ^(K)the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. ¹⁰ And ^(L)after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, ^(M)who has called you to his ^(N)eternal glory in Christ, will himself ^(O)restore, ^(P)confirm, strengthen, and establish you. ^11 (Q)To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

¹² By ^(R)Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, ^(S)I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is ^(T)the true grace of God. ^(U)Stand firm in it. ¹³ She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does ^(V)Mark, my son. ^14 (W)Greet one another with the kiss of love.

^(X)Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
