1 Peter 5:3-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. Don’t be like a ruler over those you are responsible for. But be good examples to them.

4. Then when Christ the Ruling Shepherd comes, you will get a crown—one that will be glorious and never lose its beauty.

5. Young people, I have something to say to you too. You should accept the authority of the elders. You should all have a humble attitude in dealing with each other. “God is against the proud, but he is kind to the humble.” Proverbs 3:34

6. So be humble under God’s powerful hand. Then he will lift you up when the right time comes.

7. Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you.
