1 Peter

1 Peter 5:5–6

⁵Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

“God opposes the proud,

but gives grace to the humble.”^d

⁶Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.
