![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
5:6 And God will exalt you in due time , if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand
5:7 by casting all your cares on him because he cares for you .
5:8 Be sober and alert . Your enemy the devil , like a roaring lion , is on the prowl looking for someone to devour .
5:9 Resist him, strong in your faith , because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same kinds of suffering .
5:10 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.
5:11 To him belongs the power forever . Amen .
Final Greetings
5:12 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.
5:13 The church in Babylon , chosen together with you, greets you , and so does Mark , my son .
5:14 Greet one another with a loving kiss . Peace to all of you who are in Christ .
