1 Peter 5:9-11
The Message
He Gets the Last Word
8-11 Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.

9 Resist him,(A) standing firm in the faith,(B) because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.(C)
10 And the God of all grace, who called you(D) to his eternal glory(E) in Christ, after you have suffered a little while,(F) will himself restore you and make you strong,(G) firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.(H)
