...humility towards one another must be the garment you all wear constantly, because God opposes the proud but accords his favour to the humble.6Bow down, then, before the power of God now, so that he may raise you upin due time ; 7Unload all your burden on to him, since he is concerned about you.
8Keep sober and alert, because your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9Stand up to him, strongin faith and in the knowledge that it is the same kind of suffering that the community of your brothers throughout the world is undergoing.
10You will have to suffer only for a little while: the God of all grace who called you to eternal glory in Christ will restore you, he will restore, strengthen and support you. 11His power lasts for ever and ever. Amen.
