1 Peter Chapter[BR] 5

1 The elders therefore among you I exhort, who am a fellow�elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

2 Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according unto God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

1 Peter Chapter[BR] 5

3 neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock.

4 And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5 Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

1 Peter Chapter[BR] 5

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;

7 casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you.

8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9 whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.

1 Peter Chapter[BR] 5

10 And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, stablish, strengthen you.

11 To him cf15i be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

12 By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account cf15i him , I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God: stand ye fast therein.

1 Peter Chapter[BR] 5

13 She that is in Babylon, elect together with cf15i you , saluteth you; and cf15i so doth Mark my son.

14 Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be unto you all that are in Christ.
