BLB 1PET Chapter 5

5 I exhort the elders among you, a fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory being about to be revealed: 2 Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but willingly according to God; and not for base gain but eagerly, 3 not as exercising lordship over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4 And the Chief Shepherd having been revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 5 Likewise, younger ones, be subject to your elders. And all, gird on humility one to another, because, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 6 Be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time, 7 having cast all your anxiety upon Him, because with Him there is care about you. 8 Be sober-minded; watch. Your adversary the devil prowls about as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, 9 whom you should resist, firm in the faith, knowing the same sufferings to be accomplished in your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And the God of all grace, the One having called you to His eternal glory in Christ, of you having suffered a little while, He Himself will perfect, will confirm, will strengthen, and will establish you. 11 To Him be the power to the ages of the ages. Amen. 12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I regard him, I have written to you through few words, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God, in which you stand. 13 She in Babylon elected with you greets you, and my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to all of you who are in Christ.
