Chapter 5 | |
1 | The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: |
2 | Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; |
3 | Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. |
4 | And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. |
5 | Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the
elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility:
for
God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
|
6 | Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: |
7 | Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. |
8 | Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: |
9 | Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. |
10 | But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. |
11 | To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. |
12 |
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. |
13 | The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. |
14 | Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
