1 Peter 1:15

1:15 but, like the Holy One who called you, become holy yourselves in all of your conduct,

1 Peter 5:6

5:6 And God will exalt you in due time, ¹  if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand ² 

---

¹ tn Grk “in time,” but connoting “the proper time, when the time is right” as in Matt 24:45; Luke 12:42.

² tn Grk “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that in due time he may exalt you.” The sentence was rearranged so that the English reader could more clearly see the connection between “casting” (v. 7) and “humble” (v. 6).
