1.4 KiB

General Information:

Peter gives an instruction specifically to younger men and then continues to instruct all of the believers.

In the same way

This refers back to the way the elders submitted to the Chief Shepherd in 1 Peter 5:1-4.

All of you

This refers to all believers, not just the younger men.

clothe yourselves with humility

Peter speaks of having the moral quality of humility as putting on a piece of clothing. AT: "act humbly toward each other" or "act with humility" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

under God's mighty hand

Here the word "hand" refers to God's power to save the humble and punish the proud. AT: "under God's great power" or "before God, realizing that he has great power," (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

Cast all your anxiety on him

Peter speaks of anxiety as if it were a heavy burden that a person places on God, rather than carrying it himself. AT: "Trust him with everything that worries you" or "Let him take care of all the things that trouble you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
