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.

New Living Translation
8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers[a] all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
10 In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. 11 All power to him forever! Amen.
