2. Peter’s first epistle has instruction for both the young and old. He tells the younger folk: “In the same way, you who are younger must accept _________ of the elders…” What is it that the young should accept of the elders?
1 Peter 5-7
5 In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.
