Instructions For Christians

⁸ Be temperate, be vigilant: for your adversary the Devil goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. ⁹ resist him by the steadiness of your faith, considering that your brethren among the Gentiles, suffer the same persecutions as you do. ¹⁰ but may the all-gracious God, who has called us to eternal glory, perfect, confirm, fortify, and settle you, during the short interval of your sufferings.
