Seeker Overlay ON

* 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 : * Shepherd the flock of God among you , exercising oversight , not by compulsion , but willingly ; nor eagerly for base gain , but readily ; * nor as exercising lordship over the ones allotted to you , but becoming examples of the flock . * And at the appearing of the Chief Shepherd , you will receive the never fading crown of glory . * 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 * Then be humbled under the mighty hand of God , that He may exalt you in time ; * "casting all your anxiety onto Him ," because it matters to Him concerning you . LXX-Psa . strkjv @54:23 ; MT-Psa . strkjv @55:22 * Be sensible , watch , because your adversary the Devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking someone he may devour ; * whom firmly resist in the faith , knowing the same sufferings are being completed in your brotherhood in the world . * 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 . * To Him be the glory and the might forever and ever . Amen .
