Translations

1 Peter 5:5 - Amplified Bible

Likewise, you who are younger {and} of lesser rank, be subject to the elders (the ministers and spiritual guides of the church)--[giving them due respect and yielding to their counsel]. Clothe (apron) yourselves, all of you, with humility [as the garb of a servant, so that its covering cannot possibly be stripped from you, with freedom from pride and arrogance] toward one another. For God sets Himself against the proud (the insolent, the overbearing, the disdainful, the presumptuous, the boastful)--[and He opposes, frustrates, and defeats them], but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble.

1 Peter 5:5 - Additional Comments

After challenging the elders, Peter now challenges young people to submit to those elders in his previous challenge.
In Luke 22:26 Jesus implies younger signifies a more humble situation than being older.
Obey, submit to your elders, for they watch over your souls (Hebrews 13:17).
Also, submit to each other, as far as reproofs, counsels, bearing each others burdens.
These submissions are contrary to our proud egos, and that is why we are encouraged to clothe ourselves with humility. That is the only way we can submit.
Being clothed in humility, it affects everything you do. If clothed in humility, you can't do a thing without it.
But notice how God treats the proud - he resists the proud. That means he hinders their movement, and fights against them. They are at odds - there is a battle between them.
And what does the humble get? All that God has - faith, wisdom, peace, all of God's blessings, all through His grace.
