1 Peter 5:8-14

8 1Be of sober spirit, 2be on the alert. Your adversary, 3the devil, prowls around like a roaring 4lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 5 6So resist him, 7firm in your faith, knowing that 8the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your 9brothers and sisters who are in the world. 10After you have suffered 10for a little while, the 11God of all grace, who 12called you to His 13eternal glory in Christ, will Himself 14perfect, 15confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 16To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.

12Through 17Silvanus, our faithful brother 18(for so I regard him), 19I have written to you briefly, 20exhorting and testifying that this is 21the true grace of God. 22Stand firm in it! 13She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, 23Mark. 14 24Greet one another with a kiss of love.

25Peace be to you all who are in Christ.
