1Pe 1 Peter, chapter First Epistle of Peter, chapter 5
Elders who [are] among yöu, I exhort [yöu], [as] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory about to be revealed, Act 1:8; Rom 8:17feed the flock of God that [is] among yöu, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly, Act 20:28neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock, Mrk 10:44and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, yöu will receive the unfading garland of glory. 1Pe 2:25; 1Co 9:25In like manner, yöu young [ones], be subject to elders, and all subjecting yourselves to one another; clothe yourselves with humble-mindedness, because God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble; Jas 4:6; Eph 5:21; Php 2:3be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt yöu in good time, Jas 4:10having cast all yöur care on Him, because He cares for yöu. Psa 55:22; Mat 6:32; Luk 12:30Be sober, vigilant, because yöur opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up, Job 1:7; Job 2:2; Luk 22:31whom yöu must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of yöur brotherhood to be accomplished in the world. Act 14:22And the God of all grace, who called yöu to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make yöu perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [yöu]; 2Co 4:17to Him [is] the glory and the power through the ages and the ages! Amen. Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon, I wrote through few [words] to yöu, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which yöu have stood. She in Babylon chosen with yöu greets yöu, and my son Marcus. Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to yöu all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.Rom 16:16; 1Co 16:20; 2Co 13:12
