9 Resist him, steadfast in your faith, because you know the same kinds of sufferings are being accomplished by your community of believers in the world.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered for a short time, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
11 To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother (as I consider him), I have written to you briefly to encourage you and to attest that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen the same as you, greets you, and so does my son Mark.
14 Greet one another with a loving kiss. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
