05/19 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

8 - Be sober-minded and watchful, for your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a restless roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith! Knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you’ve suffered a little while, the God of grace - who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ - will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him is the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

     12 By Silvanus (Silas, who worked, and traveled somewhat with Paul) whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written briefly, urging and declaring to you, that this is the true grace of God (we have taught you, and written about in this letter). Stand firm in it. 13 She {the church which is} at Babylon [was code for Rome] who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. [Mark who wrote one of the gospels, likely by interviews. A young man(?) who was a scribe/able to write, and worked for the cause of God, in Jesus.] 14 Greet one another with the kiss of love.

     Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
