Passage
And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle <FI>you<Fi> ;
And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle <FI>you<Fi> ;
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,
1 Peter 5:9 whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished.
1 Peter 5:10 And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle <FI>you<Fi> ;
1 Peter 5:11 to Him <FI>is<Fi> the glory, and the power--to the ages and the ages! Amen.
1 Peter 5:12 Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few <FI>words<Fi> I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood.
The verse centers on "grace", "call", "age-during", "glory", "christ", "jesus", "having", and "suffered". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "grace" and "call", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 9's "whom resist stedfast in the faith having..." into verse 11's "to Him FI is Fi the glory...", so "grace" and "call" belong inside that flow. In 1 Peter context, the local focus is hope in suffering, holy conduct, submission, and grace.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "grace" and "call" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
