6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
7casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.
8Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,
9whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
10And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you.
11To him [be] the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account [him], I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand ye fast therein.
