Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

9

Do not give way to him but be strong in your faith, in the knowledge that your brothers who are in the world undergo the same troubles.

10

And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

11

His is the power for ever. So be it.

12

I have sent you this short letter by Silvanus, a true brother, in my opinion; comforting you and witnessing that this is the true grace of God; keep to it.

13

She who is in Babylon, who has a part with you in the purpose of God, sends you her love; and so does my son Mark.

Give one another the kiss of love. Peace be to you all in Christ.
