1 Peter 5:8-9

New International Version (NIV)

⁸ Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy ‘the devil’ [ha-shod or ha-shed: the-malignant (like a cancer), the-desolation, the-destruction, etc..] prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to ‘devour’ [bala’: destroy, spend up, eat up, etc..]. ⁹ Resist ‘him’ [ha-qrats: the-accuser, the-slanderer, etc..], standing firm in ‘the faith’ [’emuwnah: set-office, truth, etc..], because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of ‘sufferings’ [k’eb: adversity, grief, etc..].
