Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. | So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. |
Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. | Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. |
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. | Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. |
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. | In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. |
