²⁸ “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.^{(A) 29} Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,^(B) because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.^{(C) 30} For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Conclusion

⁶ Humble^(A) yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand^(B) of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time, ⁷ casting all your cares on him, because he cares about you.^{(C) 8} Be sober-minded,^(D) be alert.^(E) Your adversary the devil^(F) is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. ⁹ Resist him,^(G) firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.
