1 Peter 5:6-11
6 Humble yourselves, therefore,
under God’s mighty hand,
that he may lift you up in due time.
7 Cast all your anxiety on him
because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind.
Your enemy the devil prowls
around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour.
9 Resist him,
standing firm in the faith,
because you know
that the family of believers
throughout the world is undergoing
the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace,
who called you
to his eternal glory in Christ,
after you have suffered a little while,
will himself restore you
and make you strong,
firm and steadfast.
11 To him be the power
for ever and ever. Amen.
