51 Peter 5

1The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:Select 1 Peter 5:1

2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;Select 1 Peter 5:2

3Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.Select 1 Peter 5:3

4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.Select 1 Peter 5:4

5Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.Select 1 Peter 5:5

6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:Select 1 Peter 5:6

7Casting all your care on him; for he cares for you.Select 1 Peter 5:7

8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:Select 1 Peter 5:8

9Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brothers that are in the world.Select 1 Peter 5:9

10But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.Select 1 Peter 5:10

11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.Select 1 Peter 5:11

12By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein you stand.Select 1 Peter 5:12

13The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and so does Marcus my son.Select 1 Peter 5:13

14Greet you one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.Select 1 Peter 5:14
