1 Peter 5:8-11

Expanded Bible

⁸ ·Control [Discipline] yourselves and be ·careful [alert]! The devil, your enemy, ·goes around [prowls] like a roaring lion looking for someone to ·eat [devour]. ⁹ ·Refuse to give in to [Resist] him, by standing strong in your faith. You know that your ·Christian family [community of believers; ^Lbrotherhood] all over the world is having the same kinds of suffering.

¹⁰ And after you suffer ·for a short time [or a little], God, who gives all grace, will ·make everything right [^Lrestore you]. He will make you strong and support you and keep you from falling. He called you ·to share in his glory in Christ, a glory that will continue forever [^Linto his eternal glory in Christ]. ¹¹ ·All power is his [or To him be the power] forever and ever. Amen.
