1 Peter 5:5-14

1 Peter 5:5-14 CSB

In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with  humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.   , Humble  yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand  of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.  Be sober-minded,  be alert.  Your adversary the devil  is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him,  firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world. The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory  in Christ,  will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little while.  To him be dominion  forever.  Amen. Through Silvanus,  , a faithful brother (as I consider him), I have written to you briefly in order to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it! She who is in Babylon,  chosen together with you, sends you greetings, as does Mark, my son. Greet one another with a kiss of love.  Peace  to all of you who are in Christ.
