- Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
- Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
- Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
- And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
