Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up; <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food; <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> 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; <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> His is the power for ever. So be it. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Give one another the kiss of love. Peace be to you all in Christ. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n
