Stand

1 Peter 5:10 And 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, strengthen, and establish you. #Bible

This is an excerpt from Kenneth S. Wuest expanded translation New Testament. 1 Peter 5:9-11. I recommend reading the whole chapter to get the benefit of meaning in this salutation.

Stand immovable against his onset, solid as a rock in your faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being accomplished in your brotherhood which is in the world. But the God of every grace, the One who summoned you in Christ with a view to His eternal glory, after you have suffered a little while, shall himself make you complete, shall establish you firmly, shall strengthen you, shall ground you as on a foundation. To Him let there be ascribed this power forever and forever. Amen.

What a Wonderful God we have been summoned to fellowship with. Amen.
