10
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.
8
Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.
9
Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world.
10
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you.
11
To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12
By Silva'nus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God; stand fast in it.
