- 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.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
