1Peter:5:1-11
rkjnt@1Peter:5:1 @ I exhort the elders who are among you, as a fellow elder, and as a witness of the sufferings of Christ and as a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
rkjnt@1Peter:5:2 @ Tend the flock of God which is in your charge, not by compulsion, but willingly; not for sordid gain, but eagerly;
rkjnt@1Peter:5:3 @ Not being lords over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.
rkjnt@1Peter:5:4 @ And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that does not fade away.
rkjnt@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise, you who are younger, submit yourselves to the elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another: for God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
rkjnt@1Peter:5:6 @ Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
rkjnt@1Peter:5:7 @ Casting all your anxiety upon him; for he cares for you.
rkjnt@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, like a roaring lion, walks about, seeking someone he may devour.
rkjnt@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are required of your brethren who are throughout the world.
rkjnt@1Peter:5:10 @ But the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
rkjnt@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
