1Pet3:8 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. 9Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10For,
"Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from deceitful
speech.
11He must turn from
evil and do good;
he must seek peace and pursue
it.
12For the eyes of the Lord are on
the righteous
and his ears are attentive to
their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do
evil." (Psa34:12-16) - NIV
1Pet5:5 .....
you who are younger, be subject [submissive] to the elders [those who are
older]. Clothe yourselves, all of you,
with humility toward one another, for
"God opposes the proud but gives
grace to the humble." (Pro3:34)
6Humble yourselves,
therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that
at the proper time he may exalt you [lift you up], 7casting all your anxieties on
him, because he cares for you. 8Be
sober-minded [self-controlled]; be watchful [alert]. Your
adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to
devour. 9Resist him, [standing] firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds
of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
10And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who
has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm
[make you firm],
strengthen, and establish you [make you steadfast]. 11To him be the dominion
[power] forever and
ever. Amen. - ESV
