Likewise {G3668}, ye younger {G3501}, submit yourselves {G5293} unto the elder {G4245}. Yea {G1161}, all {G3956} of you be subject {G5293} one to another {G240}, and be clothed {G1463} with humility {G5012}: for {G3754} God {G2316} resisteth {G498} the proud {G5244}, and {G1161} giveth {G1325} grace {G5485} to the humble {G5011}.

God opposes the arrogant,
but to the humble he gives grace.
