I Peter 5/5 I Peter 5:1
The 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:
I Peter 5:2
Feed 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;
I Peter 5:3
Neither as being lords over [ God's ] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
I Peter 5:4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
I Peter 5:5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [ of you ] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
I Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
I Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
I Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
I Peter 5:9
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
I Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [ you ].
I Peter 5:11
To him [ be ] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
I Peter 5:12
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
I Peter 5:13
The [ church that is ] at Babylon, elected together with [ you ], saluteth you; and [ so doth ] Marcus my son.
I Peter 5:14
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [ be ] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
I Peter 5/5
