Verse 7
7. Casting—once for all: so the Greek aorist.
care—"anxiety? The advantage flowing from humbling ourselves under God's hand (1 Peter 5:6) is confident reliance on His goodness. Exemption from care goes along with humble submission to God.
careth for you—literally "respecting you." Care is a burden which faith casts off the man on his God. Compare Psalms 22:10; Psalms 37:5; Psalms 55:22, to which Peter alludes; Luke 12:22; Luke 12:37; Philippians 4:6.
careth—not so strong a Greek word as the previous Greek "anxiety."
