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. |
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. |
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. |
12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. |
13 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. |
14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
