American Standard Version
"Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: "
— 1 Peter 5:8, American Standard Version
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
“Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
“Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour.”
“Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.”
“Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;”
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.
Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you.
To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
