1 Peter 5:8-11
Legacy Standard Bible
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.
