SCRIPTURE

"And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you." — 1 Peter 5:10 (ASV)

The God of all grace (ο θεος της χαριτος). See 4:10 for ποικιλης χαριτος θεου (of the variegated grace of God).

In Christ (εν Χριστω). A Pauline phrase (2 Corinthians 5:17–19), but Petrine also. For God's "calling" us (καλεσας) see 1 Thessalonians 5:23f.; 1 Corinthians 1:8f.; Romans 8:29f.

After that ye have suffered a little while (ολιγον παθοντας). Second aorist active participle of πασχω, antecedent to the principal verbs which are future active (καταρτισε, to mend, Mr 1:19; Galatians 6:1, στηριξε, for which see Lu 9:51; 22:32, σθενωσε from σθενος and so far a απαξ λεγομενον like ενισχυω according to Hesychius). For ολιγον see 1:6.
