1 Peter 5:7

About this verse

Peter wrote to Christians facing suffering and hostility. “Casting” is a deliberate act, like throwing a heavy load onto an animal's back, and the reason we can do it is simple: he cares for us.

In context · 1 Peter 5:5–9

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
