1 Peter 5:6-9

6 1Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
7 2casting all your anxieties on him, because 3he cares for you.
8 4Be sober-minded; 5be watchful. Your 6adversary the devil 7prowls around 8like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
9 9Resist him, 10firm in your faith, knowing that 11the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
