1 Peter 5:5-11
21st Century King James Version
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility; for “God resisteth the proud, and giveth 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 cares upon Him, for He careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
10 But after ye have suffered a while, may the God of all grace, who hath called us into His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 5:5-11
New International Version
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves(A) to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility(B) toward one another, because,
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.(D) 7 Cast all your anxiety on him(E) because he cares for you.(F)
8 Be alert and of sober mind.(G) Your enemy the devil prowls around(H) like a roaring lion(I) looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him,(J) standing firm in the faith,(K) because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.(L)
10 And the God of all grace, who called you(M) to his eternal glory(N) in Christ, after you have suffered a little while,(O) will himself restore you and make you strong,(P) firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.(Q)
