| 1 Peter 5
|
| | 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: |
| | 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; |
| | 5:3
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the
flock. |
| | 5:4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of
glory that fadeth not away. |
| | 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. |
| | 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may
exalt you in due time: |
| | 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. |
| | 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: |
"The devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
Is the devil free to roam?
How are Jesus and Satan alike?
| | 5:9
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
| | 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. |
| | 5:11
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. |
| | 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. |
| | 5:13
The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you;
and so doth Marcus my son. |
| | 5:14
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that
are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
