1Peter:5:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 :
*
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 ;
*
Neither as being lords over God '
s heritage ,
but being ensamples to the flock .
*
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear ,
ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away .
*
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 .
*
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God ,
that he may exalt you in due time :
*
Casting all your care upon him ;
for he careth for you .
*
Be sober ,
be vigilant ;
because your adversary the devil ,
as a roaring lion ,
walketh about ,
seeking whom he may devour :
*
Whom resist stedfast in the faith ,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world .
*
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 .
*
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever .
Amen .
