People's Commentary (NT)
1 Peter 5:5
Likewise, ye younger. Some scholars think that all who are not
elders are meant. Among the Greeks "younger" sometimes meant those
inferior in position. Perhaps the word enforces this sense as well as
those younger in years.
Submit yourselves to the elder. "Elders" in the Greek. The duty
of submissiveness and humility is the thought of the passage.
Be subject one to another. Mutual deference must be shown, as
well as mutual service.
Be clothed with humility. The literal rendering is "Wrap yourselves
up in humility".
God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Quoted
from Proverbs 3:34.
