4. The Chief Shepherd will come again. Then you will receive the crown of glory. It is a crown that will never fade away.
5. Young men, follow the lead of those who are older. All of you, put on a spirit that is free of pride toward each other as if it were your clothes. Scripture says, "God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are not." (Proverbs 3:34)
6. So don't be proud. Put yourselves under God's mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time.
7. Turn all your worries over to him. He cares about you.
