1 Peter 5:6-14
Christian Standard Bible
Conclusion
6 Humble(A) yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand(B) of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time, 7 casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.(C) 8 Be sober-minded,(D) be alert.(E) Your adversary the devil(F) is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. 9 Resist him,(G) firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.
10 The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory(H) in Christ,[a] will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little while.[b] 11 To him be dominion[c] forever.[d] Amen.
12 Through Silvanus,[e](I) a faithful brother (as I consider him), I have written to you briefly in order to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it! 13 She who is in Babylon,(J) chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does Mark, my son. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.(K) Peace(L) to all of you who are in Christ.[f]
