The First Letter of Peter 5

5 Therefore, I—the fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ and the sharer of the glory being about to be revealed—exhort the elders among you: 2 Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight—not under compulsion, but willingly, according to God—and not greedily, but eagerly; 3 and not as lording it over your portion, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd has been revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 5 Similarly, young men, be subjected to elders. And everyone, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for “God resists proud ones, but gives grace to humble ones.” 6 Therefore, humble yourselves under the powerful hand of God so that he may lift you up at a time, 7 having cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, is walking around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing the same kind of sufferings are being brought to completion in your brotherhood in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, the one having called you to his eternal glory in Christ, having suffered for a little while, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish. 11 To him be the power forever. Amen.

12 Through Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I regard him, I wrote to you briefly, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God. Stand in it. 13 She who is in Babylon, fellow-elect one, greets you, and my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.

Peace to you, all those in Christ.
