1 Peter 5:5-11

5 1You younger men, likewise, 2be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with 3humility toward one another, for 4God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

6Therefore 5humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, 7casting all your 6anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 8 7Be of sober spirit, 8be on the alert. Your adversary, 9the devil, prowls around like a roaring 10lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 11 12But resist him, 13firm in your faith, knowing that 14the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your 15brethren who are in the world. 10After you have suffered 16for a little while, the 17God of all grace, who 18called you to His 19eternal glory in Christ, will Himself 20perfect, 21confirm, strengthen and establish you. 11 22To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
