1 Peter 5:6-11
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
7casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
8Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.
10But may the God of all grace (who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus), after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
11To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
