^Rm16:25Now to him who is able to strengthen [establish] you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages ²⁶but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith-- ²⁷to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen. - ESV

^1Pet5:5 ..... you who are younger, be subject [submissive] to the elders [those who are older]. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for

   "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." (Pro3:34)

⁶Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you [lift you up], ⁷casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. ⁸Be sober-minded [self-controlled]; be watchful [alert]. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ⁹Resist him, [standing] firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. ¹⁰And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm [make you firm], strengthen, and establish you [make you steadfast]. ¹¹To him be the dominion [power] forever and ever. Amen. - ESV
