Stand Firm | 1 Peter 5:6-14 | The First Letter of Peter
Outline | Conversation

And God will exalt you in due time, if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand by casting all your cares on him because he cares for you.
Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour. Resist him, strong in your faith, because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same kinds of suffering.
And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him belongs the power forever. Amen.

Through Silvanus, whom I know to be a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, in order to encourage you and testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
The church in Babylon, chosen together with you, greets you, and so does Mark, my son.
Greet one another with a loving kiss.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ (1 Peter 5:6-14).
