1 Peter 5:6 in Context — 1 Peter 5

4 Et lorsque le souverain pasteur paraîtra, vous obtiendrez la couronne incorruptible de la gloire.

5 De même, vous qui êtes jeunes, soyez soumis aux anciens. Et tous, dans vos rapports mutuels, revêtez-vous d’humilité; car Dieu résiste aux orgueilleux, Mais il fait grâce aux humbles.

6 Humiliez-vous donc sous la puissante main de Dieu, afin qu’il vous élève au temps convenable;

7 et déchargez-vous sur lui de tous vos soucis, car lui-même prend soin de vous.

8 Soyez sobres, veillez. Votre adversaire, le diable, rôde comme un lion rugissant, cherchant qui il dévorera.
