1 Peter 5:6-14 (Epistle, Saint)
- 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 sober, be vigilant; 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 may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
- 11
- To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
- 12
- By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
- 13
- She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son.
- 14
- Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
