5:5 In the same way, you who are younger, 1 be subject to the elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. 2 5:6 And God will exalt you in due time, 3 if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand 4 5:7 by casting 5 all your cares 6 on him because he cares for you. 5:8 Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, 7 is on the prowl looking for someone 8 to devour. 5:9 Resist him, 9 strong in your faith, because you know 10 that your brothers and sisters 11 throughout the world 12 are enduring 13 the same kinds of suffering. 14 5:10 And, after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ 15 will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 16 5:11 To him belongs 17 the power forever. Amen.
5:12 Through Silvanus, 18 whom I know to be a faithful brother, 19 I have written to you briefly, in order to encourage you and testify 20 that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it. 21
