Berean Standard Bible
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.”
In 5:5 Peter tells younger believers to respect the elders and calls everyone to clothe themselves with humility toward one another, quoting Proverbs 3:34: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Verses 6 and 7 form a single sentence in Greek that applies this proverb.
