1 PETER 5:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings — the imperative to 'resist' (antistēmi) the devil is grounded in 'firm faith' (stereos tē pistei), suggesting that faith is the shield against demonic assault. The awareness that believers worldwide (en tō kosmō) share the same sufferings (tōn autōn pathēmatōn) provides encouragement through solidarity.
