1 Peter 5

World English Bible (WEB)

8 Ref Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

9 Ref Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

10 Ref But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

11 Ref To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

King James Version (KJV)

8 Ref Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9 Ref Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

10 Ref But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

11 Ref To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

8 Ref Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

9 Ref Do not give way to him but be strong in your faith, in the knowledge that your brothers who are in the world undergo the same troubles.

10 Ref And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

11 Ref His is the power for ever. So be it.
