Submit to God, Resist the Devil

5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, aall of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
b“God resists the proud,
But cgives 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 Be1 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 But1 may the God of all grace, awho called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while,3 perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
