"Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour."
— 1 Peter 5:8, NET Bible
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
“Be sober, be watchful: 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 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:”
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
And God will exalt you in due time, if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand
by casting all your cares on him because he cares for you.
Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour.
Resist him, strong in your faith, because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same kinds of suffering.
And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
To him belongs the power forever. Amen.
