“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time — the exhortation to 'humble yourselves' (tapeinoō) 'under the mighty hand of God' (hypo tēn krataian cheira theou) presumes that exaltation (hypsoō) follows humiliation, but only 'in due time' (kairō, appointed season). The temporal delay suggests patience and faith in God's timing.
