Likewise, ye younger, be subject to elders; and all of youa bind onb humility to one another; because God setteth himself against haughty ones, and giveth grace to lowly.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The needless repetition of "be subject" before "bind on humility" in the KJV, following the T. R., is with reason excluded to the unimpeded and energetic flow of the exhortation.
b
The more numerous authorities read "all of you, being subject to one another, bind on humility," but some of the best MSS. and versions drop "being subject," which results in what has just been given. "Clothed" is too vague here. It is a word unique in the N. T. usage, and occurs but rarely elsewhere. The figure is taken from the apron a slave girt on to do his work earnestly without soiling his dress.
