Understand biblical ‘submission & humility’
-
1 Peter
5:5-12 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves [5293]
to [your] elders.
-
Yes, all of
[you] be submissive [5293]
to one another,
-
and be clothed
with humility [5012],
for "God resists [498]
the proud, But gives grace to the humble [5011]."
[see Prov. 3:34]
6 Therefore
humble
yourselves
[5013]
under the mighty hand of God,
7
casting
all your care upon Him,
8 Be
sober,
[3525]
be
vigilant;
[1127]
The enemy
--
because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring
lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9
Resist
[436]
him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings
are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
[Promise]
10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal
glory by Christ Jesus,
Purpose
-- 11 To Him [be] the glory and the dominion forever and ever.
Amen.
