1 Peter 5

NASB

 

1 Pet 5:1
& Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as {your} fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed,
1 Pet 5:2
& shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to {the will of} God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness;
1 Pet 5:3
& nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock.
1 Pet 5:4
& And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
1 Pet 5:5
& You younger men, likewise, be subject to {your} elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
1 Pet 5:6
& Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,
1 Pet 5:7
& casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Pet 5:8
& Be of sober {spirit,} be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1 Pet 5:9
& But resist him, firm in {your} faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.
1 Pet 5:10
& After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen {and} establish you.
1 Pet 5:11
& To Him {be} dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Pet 5:12
& Through Silvanus, our faithful brother (for so I regard {him}), I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!
1 Pet 5:13
& She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and {so does} my son, Mark.
1 Pet 5:14
& Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace be to you all who are in Christ.
