1 Peter 5:5-11 - Instructions For Christians
5 As for you that are young, be you submissive to those of a more advanc'd age: and do you all of you pay a becoming deference to one another: be cloak'd with humility, for " God opposes the proud, and shows favour to the humble."
6 submit yourselves therefore to the divine jurisdiction, that he may exalt you in due time. 7 refer all your disquietudes to him, for you are the objects of his care.
8 Be temperate, be vigilant: for your adversary the Devil goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 resist him by the steadiness of your faith, considering that your brethren among the Gentiles, suffer the same persecutions as you do.
10 but may the all-gracious God, who has called us to eternal glory, perfect, confirm, fortify, and settle you, during the short interval of your sufferings. 11 to him belongs eternal glory and empire. amen.
