1 Peter 5:6-14

^{Tools
6} Therefore ^(A)humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, ^{Tools
7} casting all your ^(B)anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. ^{Tools
8} ^(C)Be of sober spirit, ^(D)be on the alert. Your adversary, ^(E)the devil, prowls around like a roaring ^(F)lion, seeking someone to devour. ^{Tools
9} ^(a)^(G)But resist him, ^(H)firm in your faith, knowing that ^(I)the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your ^(b)brethren who are in the world. ^{Tools
10} After you have suffered ^(J)for a little while, the ^(K)God of all grace, who ^(L)called you to His ^(M)eternal glory in Christ, will Himself ^(N)perfect, ^(O)confirm, strengthen and establish you. ^{Tools
11} ^(P)To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.

^{Tools
12} Through ^(Q)Silvanus, our faithful brother ^(c)(for so I regard him), ^(R)I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is ^(S)the true grace of God. ^(T)Stand firm in it! ^{Tools
13} She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, ^(U)Mark. ^{Tools
14} ^(V)Greet one another with a kiss of love.^(W)Peace be to you all who are in Christ.
