1 Peter 5:5-11 - Instructions For Christians

⁵ For the like reason, you younger persons subject yourselves to the seniors. Yes, all be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud but gives favor to the humble.

⁶ Be humbled, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. ⁷ Cast all your anxious care on him, because he cares for you.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant: your adversary, the devil, is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour: ⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren, who are in the world.

¹⁰ And may the God of all favor, who has called us to his eternal glory, by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, himself make you complete; support, strengthen, establish you: ¹¹ to him be the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
