* The elders which are among you I exhort (5719 ), who am also an elder , and a witness of the sufferings of Christ , and also a partaker of the glory that shall (5723 ) be revealed (5745 ): * Feed (5657 ) the flock of God which is among you , taking the oversight (5723 ) thereof , not by constraint , but willingly ; not for filthy lucre , but of a ready mind ; * Neither as being lords over (5723 ) Gods heritage , but being (5740 ) ensamples to the flock . * And when the chief Shepherd shall appear (5685 ), ye shall receive (5695 ) a crown of glory that fadeth not away . * Likewise , ye younger , submit yourselves (5649 ) unto the elder . Yea , all of you be subject (5746 ) one to another , and be clothed (5663 ) with humility : for God resisteth (5731 ) the proud , and giveth (5719 ) grace to the humble . * Humble yourselves (5682 ) therefore under the mighty hand of God , that he may exalt (5661 ) you in due time : * Casting (5660 ) all your care upon him ; for he careth (5719 ) for you . * Be sober (5657 ), be vigilant (5657 ); because your adversary the devil , as a roaring (5740 ) lion , walketh about (5719 ), seeking (5723 ) whom he may devour (5632 ): * Whom resist (5628 ) stedfast in the faith , knowing (5761 ) that the same afflictions are accomplished (5745 ) in your brethren that are in the world . * But the God of all grace , who hath called (5660 ) us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus , after that ye have suffered (5631 ) a while , make you perfect (5659 ), stablish (5659 ), strengthen (5659 ), settle (5659 ) you . * To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever . Amen . * By Silvanus , a faithful brother unto you , as I suppose (5736 ), I have written (5656 ) briefly , exhorting (5723 ), and testifying (5723 ) that this is (5750 ) the true grace of God wherein ye stand (5758 ). * The church that is at Babylon , elected together with you , saluteth (5736 ) you ; and so doth Marcus my son . * Greet ye (5663 ) one another with a kiss of charity . Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus . Amen .
