kjc 1Peter:5
kjc@1Peter:5:1 @ 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:
kjc@1Peter:5:2 @ Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight of it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
kjc@1Peter:5:3 @ Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
kjc@1Peter:5:4 @ And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.
kjc@1Peter:5:5 @ Likewise, you younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
kjc@1Peter:5:6 @ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
kjc@1Peter:5:7 @ Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.
kjc@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:
kjc@1Peter:5:9 @ Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brothers that are in the world.
kjc@1Peter:5:10 @ But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
kjc@1Peter:5:11 @ To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
kjc@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.
kjc@1Peter:5:13 @ The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and so does Marcus my son.
kjc@1Peter:5:14 @ Greet you one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
