8 (A)Be of sober spirit, (B)be watchful. Your adversary, (C)the devil, prowls around like a roaring (D)lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 [a](E)But resist him, (F)firm in the faith, knowing that (G)the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished among your [b]brethren who are in the world. 10 And after you have suffered (H)for a little while, the (I)God of all grace, who (J)called you to His (K)eternal glory in Christ, will Himself (L)restore, (M)strengthen, confirm, and ground you. 11 (N)To Him be might forever and ever. Amen.

Common English Bible
8 Be clearheaded. Keep alert. Your accuser, the devil, is on the prowl like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith. Do so in the knowledge that your fellow believers are enduring the same suffering throughout the world. 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, the one who called you into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself restore, empower, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be power forever and always. Amen.
