51 Peter 5

1The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech who am myself also an ancient and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:Select 1 Peter 5:1

2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake but voluntarily:Select 1 Peter 5:2

3Neither as lording it over the clergy but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.Select 1 Peter 5:3

4And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.Select 1 Peter 5:4

5In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another: for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace.Select 1 Peter 5:5

6Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:Select 1 Peter 5:6

7Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.Select 1 Peter 5:7

8Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.Select 1 Peter 5:8

9Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls, your brethren who are in the world.Select 1 Peter 5:9

10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you and confirm you and establish you.Select 1 Peter 5:10

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

12By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand.Select 1 Peter 5:12

13The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you. And so doth my son, Mark.Select 1 Peter 5:13

14Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.Select 1 Peter 5:14
