gltv@1Peter:5:1 @ I, a fellow elder, exhort the elders among you, I being also witness of the sufferings of Christ, and being sharer of the glory about to be revealed:
gltv@1Peter:5:2 @ Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; nor eagerly for base gain, but readily;
gltv@1Peter:5:3 @ nor as exercising lordship over the ones allotted to you, but becoming examples of the flock.
gltv@1Peter:5:4 @ And at the appearing of the Chief Shepherd, you will receive the never fading crown of glory.
gltv@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise, younger ones be subject to older ones; and all being subject to one another. Put on humility, because God sets Himself "against proud ones, but He gives grace to humble ones." Proverbs. strkjv@3:34
gltv@1Peter:5:6 @ Then be humbled under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in time;
gltv@1Peter:5:7 @ "casting all your anxiety onto Him," because it matters to Him concerning you. LXX-Psa. strkjv@54:23; MT-Psa. strkjv@55:22
gltv@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sensible, watch, because your adversary the Devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking someone he may devour;
gltv@1Peter:5:9 @ whom firmly resist in the faith, knowing the same sufferings are being completed in your brotherhood in the world.
gltv@1Peter:5:10 @ Now the God of all grace, the One calling you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, you having suffered a little, He Himself will perfect, confirm, strengthen, establish you.
gltv@1Peter:5:12 @ I wrote to you by a few words by way of Silvanus the faithful brother, as I reckon, exhorting and witnessing this to be the true grace of God, in which you stand.
gltv@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you, all those in Christ Jesus. Amen.
