1 Peter 5 — LSV
5Verse 1Elders who [are] among you, I exhort [you], [as] a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory about to be revealed,Verse 2feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not by compulsion, but willingly, neither for shameful gain, but eagerly,Verse 3neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but becoming patterns for the flock,Verse 4and the Chief Shepherd having appeared, you will receive the unfading garland of glory.Verse 5In like manner, you 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;Verse 6be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that He may exalt you in good time,Verse 7having cast all your care on Him, because He cares for you.Verse 8Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up,Verse 9whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished in the world.Verse 10And the God of all grace, who called you to His perpetual glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle [you];Verse 11to Him [is] the glory and the power through the ages and the ages! Amen.Verse 12Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon, I wrote through few [words] to you, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which you have stood.Verse 13She in Babylon chosen with you greets you, and my son Marcus.Verse 14Greet one another in a kiss of love. Peace to you all who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.
