8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your
adversary, the devil, prowls around like a
roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 But
resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the
same experiences of suffering are being
accomplished by your brethren who are in the
world. 10 After you have suffered for a little
while, the God of all grace, who called you to
His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself
perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
11 To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1
Peter 58-11

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city
of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to
myriads of angels, to the general assembly and
church of the firstborn who are enrolled in
heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the
spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to
Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the
sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the
blood of Abel (Hebrews 1222-24).
