| 1 Pet. 5:1 |
Therefore the elders among you I exhort, who am a fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory to be revealed: |
| 1 Pet. 5:2 |
Shepherd the flock of God among you, overseeing not under compulsion but willingly, according to God; not by seeking gain through base means but eagerly; |
| 1 Pet. 5:3 |
Nor as lording it over your allotments but by becoming patterns of the flock. |
| 1 Pet. 5:4 |
And when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. |
| 1 Pet. 5:5 |
In like manner, younger men, be subject to elders; and all of you gird yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. |
| 1 Pet. 5:6 |
Therefore be humbled under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time, |
| 1 Pet. 5:7 |
Casting all your anxiety on Him because it matters to Him concerning you. |
| 1 Pet. 5:8 |
Be sober; watch. Your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking someone to devour. |
| 1 Pet. 5:9 |
Him withstand, being firm in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished among your brotherhood in the world. |
| 1 Pet. 5:10 |
But the God of all grace, He who has called you into His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself perfect, establish, strengthen, [and] ground [you]. |
| 1 Pet. 5:11 |
To Him be the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen. |
| 1 Pet. 5:12 |
Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I account [him,] I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying fully that this is the true grace of God; [enter] into this [grace] and stand [in it]. |
| 1 Pet. 5:13 |
The co-chosen in Babylon and Mark my son greet you. |
| 1 Pet. 5:14 |
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ. |
