1 Peter 5:8-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)Conclusion⁸ Be serious! Be alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. ⁹ Resist him and be firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.
¹⁰ Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally^[a]restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little.^[b] 11 The dominion^[c]belongs to Him forever.^[d] Amen.
¹² I have written you this brief letter through Silvanus^[e] (I know him to be a faithful brother) to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it! ¹³ The church in Babylon,^[f] also chosen, sends you greetings, as does Mark, my son. ¹⁴ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.^[g]
