To Elders and Young Men -
Basically, this last section is a reminder of how we are to live and treat other people. Notice that these instructions match the instructions given by Paul and Jesus.
Elders, or church leaders, are to remain humble servants of the church. It's very easy to get caught up in our positions of leadership and start thinking we are better than other people. Don't do it!
For everyone else, young people in the body - stay humble, meaning you are no better than anyone else. So, put other people first and think of their needs. Stay alert and maintain self-control. This is how you resist the devil. Remember, he's out to trip you up, so stand firm in your faith. Know that you're not the only one dealing with temptation and trials.
