1 Peter 5 (English Standard Version)

5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

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

11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
