Verse 5.— Likewise, ye younger. Younger in years, and later inducted into the kingdom of Christ. To you, and to all such as you, I say be governed by the Christian advice, exhortations and instructions of the elders, for in this regard submission is proper and necessary to your well-being. Yea, all of you be subject to one another. The exhortation of submission to the younger applies to you all: Be clothed with humility, no matter what your relations to one another may be. This grace is necessary. For God resisteth the proud. The reason for the exhibition of humility is now made to appear. God resists the proud, but gives grace to those who are humble.
