1 Pt 5:5-11

Advice to the Community.^* 5Likewise, you younger members,^* be subject to the presbyters. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for:

“God opposes the proud

but bestows favor on the humble.”^c

6So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.^d 7Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you.^e

8Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for [someone] to devour.^f 9Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings. 10The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through Christ [Jesus] will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little.^g 11To him be dominion forever. Amen.
