1 Peter 5:5

Likewise, ye younger. Some scholars think that all who are not elders are meant. Among the Greeks "younger" sometimes meant those inferior in position. Perhaps the word enforces this sense as well as those younger in years.

Submit yourselves to the elder. "Elders" in the Greek. The duty of submissiveness and humility is the thought of the passage.

Be subject one to another. Mutual deference must be shown, as well as mutual service.

Be clothed with humility. The literal rendering is "Wrap yourselves up in humility".

God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Quoted from Pr 3:34.
