1Pe 5:5-12 | ESV | STEP | Likewise , you who are younger , be subject to the elders . Clothe yourselves , all of you, with humility toward one another , for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble .

5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. ^aClothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ^b“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

6 ^cHumble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 ^dcasting all your anxieties on him, because ^ehe cares for you. 8 ^fBe sober-minded; ^gbe watchful. Your ^hadversary the devil ⁱprowls around ^jlike a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 ^kResist him, ^lfirm in your faith, knowing that ^mthe same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And ⁿafter you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, ^owho has called you to his ^peternal glory in Christ, will himself ^qrestore, ^rconfirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 ^sTo him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

12 By ^tSilvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, ^uI have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is ^vthe true grace of God. ^wStand firm in it.
