1 Peter 5:5-11 - Instructions For Christians

⁵ You younger men must submit to the presbyters; and all of you must put on the garment of humility and serve one another, for God resists the haughty, But gives grace to the humble.

⁶ So humble yourselves under God's mighty hand, so that he may exalt you in due time. ⁷ Cast all your care upon him, for he ever cares for you.

⁸ Be temperate, be vigilant; because your enemy, the devil, is prowling about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. ⁹ Resist him, standing firm in the faith, knowing well that the same afflictions are being accomplished in your brothers that are in the world.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who has called us by Christ Jesus to share his eternal glory, will, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. ¹¹ His is the dominion forever and ever; Amen.
