Concerning this salvation, the prophets who predicted the grace that would come to you searched and investigated carefully.

Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of the varied grace of God.

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.

Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as the weaker partners and show them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way nothing will hinder your prayers.
