⁶ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, ⁷ casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

⁸ Be ^[a]sober, be ^[b]vigilant; ^[c]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. ⁹ Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. ¹⁰ But ^[d]may the God of all grace, ^(A)who called ^[e]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, ^[f]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. ^11 (B)To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

And she served them.

^32 (D)At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. ³³ And the whole city was gathered together at the door. ³⁴ Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and ^(E)cast out many demons; and He ^(F)did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

³⁵ Now ^(H)in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a ^[a]solitary place; and there He ^(I)prayed. ³⁶ And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. ³⁷ When they found Him, they said to Him, ^(J)“Everyone ^(K)is looking for You.”

³⁸ But He said to them, ^(L)“Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because ^(M)for this purpose I have come forth.”

^39 (N)And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and ^(O)casting out demons.
