(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
1
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am their fellow-elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, who also am partaker of the glory about to be revealed:
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
2
shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising oversight, not by necessity, but willingly; not for base gain, but readily;
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
3
not as lording it over your possessions, but being models for the flock.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
4
And when the chief shepherd is manifested ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
5
Likewise ye younger, be subject to the elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against the proud, but to the humble gives grace.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the due time;
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
7
having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
8
Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
9
Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which is in the world.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
10
But the God of all grace who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered for a little while, himself shall make perfect, stablish, strengthen, ground:
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
11
to him be the glory and the might for the ages of the ages. Amen.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
12
By Silvanus, the faithful brother, as I suppose, I have written to you briefly; exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which ye stand.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
13
She that is elected with you in Babylon salutes you, and Marcus my son.
(DB)
1 Peter
5
:
14
Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all who are in Christ.
