1 Peter 5:8-14

English Standard Version

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

Final Greetings

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

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