1 Peter 5:3-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

3. and not as lording it over those under your care, but being examples for the flock.

4. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

5. In the same way, younger men, 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.

6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the right time,

7. casting all your cares on him, because he cares for you.

8. Be sober; be on the alert. Your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

9. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, because you know the same kinds of sufferings are being accomplished by your community of believers in the world.
