Submit to God, Resist the Devil
1 Peter 5:5-11
5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves
to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be
clothed with humility, for
“ God resists the proud, But
gives grace to the humble.”
6 Therefore
humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you
in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking
whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in
the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your
brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of
all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after
you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle
you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever
and ever. Amen.
