| Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. | Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. |
| Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. | Casting all your care upon Him, for 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. | Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may 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. | But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. |
