8 Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

9 Resist him and be firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you in Christ Jesus to his eternal glory, will restore you, establish you, strengthen you, and support you.
