# Be sober
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
Here the word "sober" refers to mental clarity and alertness. See how you translated this in [1 Peter 1:13](../01/13.md). Alternate translation: "Control your thoughts" or "Be careful about what you think" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

# the devil is walking around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
Peter compares the devil to a roaring lion. Just as a hungry lion completely devours its prey, the devil is seeking to completely destroy the faith of believers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])

# walking around
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
The context indicates that this is part of the simile of the "roaring lion," so if your language has a word for the way an animal walks when it is hunting, you may use it here. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
