1Peter:5:1-11

Seeker Overlay ON

* The seniors who are among you , I exhort , who am also a senior , and a witness of the sufferings of Christ , and also a partaker of the glory which is to be revealed . * Feed the flock of God , which is with you ; exercising the overseer 's office , not by constraint , but willingly ; neither for the sake of sordid gain , but from good disposition ; * neither as lording it over the heritage of God , but , being patterns to the flock : * and when the Chief Shepherd shall appear , you shall receive the crown of glory which fades not away . * For the like reason , you younger persons subject yourselves to the seniors . Yes , all be subject to one another , and be clothed with humility , for God resists the proud but gives favor to the humble . * Be humbled , therefore , under the mighty hand of God , that he may exalt you in due time . * Cast all your anxious care on him , because he cares for you . * Be sober , be vigilant : your adversary , the devil , is walking about as a roaring lion , seeking whom he may devour : * whom resist , steadfast in the faith , knowing that the very same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren , who are in the world . * And may the God of all favor , who has called us to his eternal glory , by Christ Jesus , after you have suffered a little , himself make you complete ; support , strengthen , establish you : * to him be the glory and dominion for ever and ever . Amen .
