"Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:"
1 Peter 5:5-6 in Context (Verses 2–9 KJV)
2
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3
Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
