1 Peter

1 Peter 5:8–10

⁸Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ⁹Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

¹⁰And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ,^e will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you.
