Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”†
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
1 Peter 5:5 in context
1 Peter 5:2–8
2
shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily; not for dishonest gain, but willingly;
3
not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
4
When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.
5
Selected verse
Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility and subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives 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 worries on him, because he cares for you.
