wesleynt 1Peter:5:1-11
wesleynt@1Peter:5:1 @ The elders that are among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and likewise a partaker of the glory which shall be revealed,
wesleynt@1Peter:5:2 @ Feed the flock of God which is among you, overseeing it not by constraint, but willingly, not for filthy gain, but of a ready mind,
wesleynt@1Peter:5:3 @ Neither as lording over the heritage, but being examples to the flock.
wesleynt@1Peter:5:4 @ And when the chief shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away.
wesleynt@1Peter:5:5 @ In like manner, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder, and be ye all subject to each other. Be ye cloathed with humility; for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
wesleynt@1Peter:5:6 @ 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.
wesleynt@1Peter:5:7 @ Watch: be vigilant:
wesleynt@1Peter:5:8 @ for your adversary the devil, walketh about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:
wesleynt@1Peter:5:9 @ Whom resist, stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
wesleynt@1Peter:5:10 @ Now the God of all grace, who hath called us by Christ Jesus to his eternal glory, after ye have suffered a while, himself shall perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
wesleynt@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be the glory and the might for ever and ever. Amen.
